I had to just live with my allergy. Wash hands and DO NOT touch face. Most allergy meds are like speed for me so I rarely take them- I would just make sure she was brushed and wiped down. And it was only the one cat- never before and not since have I had a problem.

Also ask your Vet. He probably knows of a safe solution to use on her. You can also get a shot. glinda Jan 2012 #4
