[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 320250, member: 6705"] There is a difference between being clean and being obsessive. For instance... I am allergic to cats. However, I've had them all my life, so unless I actually get dander IN my eyes, I'm fine. Now my oldest cat - Weasel - sleeps on my pillow - or on me! So her dander doesn't bother me. It's Possum's that is the worst. Dogs - their saliva causes me to get hives, wherever they lick. But I have Bubbles now - and he can lick me - no problems. I get used to it quickly. The next-door neighbor's dog? SERIOUS hives. My father in law's dog? No problems. Jett is also allergic to cats. However, when we got 50% parenting and now full legal/residential, his allergies have almost totally vanished. The only time they show up is when he has spent more than 5 days with BM. And since she recently got a cat - we will see on that one! Now bee stings? OH, BAD NEWS. Onyxx and Jett have both been stung recently (last couple of years) - they, and husband, are fine. Me? Well... I'm deathly afraid, because the one time I remember being stung, it required a trip to the ER. doctor won't give me an epipen though, because it's been quite literally a couple of decades since. I don't run from them, though. Just sort of pray they won't sting. Hay fever though is a bad thing in our house. Onyxx seems to be the only non-sufferer - so we keep several kinds of antihistamines on hand. I carry benadryl in the car with me (in case of sting, LOL - I have friends that live in the back of beyond). [/QUOTE]
