Confirmation of allergic badness

[kitchen_kink]

Slept in the room upstairs last night (not dusted; with cats) because the bed is more comfy and warm. Woke up with a headache, stuffy head, achy, nauseated, groggy self.

Oh, and slept too long - figure that.

So yeah, looks like my winter's suffering, oversleeping, and so forth was all about allergies. My room has dust mites, true, and it's near-impossible to get rid of the residue of cats. But the allergens in there are much less than upstairs, and I wake up, generally, refreshed after seven or eight hours.

Mystery solved. Off to soak my head.

... what ails you. Is there anything that can be done to the cats so they do bring up the allergy reaction?

Some allergists recommend that cats be bathed once a week. This seems extreme to me, given how averse cats generally are to baths and how averse their owners are to bleeding. :) But things can be done to me, namely, I can take the drops they sent me.

That is, as soon as I get instructions on how to use them...

Pha! No one should read instructions! Let's just take the approach of "let's smoke this shit and see what happens..."

BTW, very glad to see you posting again.
