Husband, cat allergy finally develops after 9 years of living with cats Caused by working from home?

It's been 9 years since I started living with cats. It's the same with her husband. I had a cat allergy in my 4th year, but her husband has no problem at all!

It was supposed to be ...

My husband, who has hay fever, seems to have finished sneezing pollen, and now he has allergic symptoms of sneezing and runny nose. This is exactly the same situation as when my cat allergy turned out. I thought it was hay fever for a long time, but I was allergic to cats.

When I discovered allergies to cats, I went to a local internal medicine department and had a blood test, and a few days later I found out that I had allergies to cats. However, under the state of emergency, it is possible to go to the hospital at this level ... So, I am in a (provisional) state of "probably allergic to cats."

Is cat allergy caused by remote work?

It seems that the number one cause of my husband's allergies is that I have been working remotely for about two months, and I spend most of my time at work, at home, and on holidays with my cat. This means that if you stop working remotely, your symptoms are likely to subside immediately.

I once wrote in this series that if allergies to cats are mild, some measures can be taken. At that time, I wrote "Do not put cats in the bedroom", "Use an air purifier, a vacuum cleaner with strong suction power", "Mask in the house" and so on.

This was written four years ago. The countermeasures have been upgraded little by little within me, so I would like to introduce the 2020 version.

After all "ventilation" "cleaning" is important

First of all, I don't wear a mask at home now. Masks are spicy both at home and outside ...

More important than masks is "ventilation," which is also important for infection prevention these days.

If I neglect to ventilate, I often experience allergic symptoms.

Whether it's the midsummer of air-conditioning or the midwinter of heating, ventilation is essential many times a day at home.

Of course cleaning is also important. Previously, a vacuum cleaner with strong suction power! I wrote that, but now the adhesive tape "Korokoro" is more useful.

A vacuum cleaner with a strong suction power makes a loud noise, so you can choose the time zone, but if you use a vacuum cleaner, you can clean it all the time, which is also an advantage.

I want the cat to take a bath ...

And one more thing, we may ask for the cooperation of cats. That is to have a cat take a bath.

The cause of allergies to cats is dandruff rather than hair, or finely peeled skin, so it is effective not only to brush but also to wash the whole.

When I wash my cat's body, I feel that the air is cleansed for a while.

However, when I ask the cat to take a bath, the cat does not say, "OK! Then, I don't like it, but I'll enter" or "If you give me a special gohan, I'll enter."

Cats don't like taking a bath, and it's extremely difficult for humans to take a bath. So the bath is pear and peaceful! I'd like to say that, but it's not all bad for cats, as the hair slips out and is refreshing.

If possible, I would like you to take a bath twice a year according to the moulting period.

I'm scared of the cat's sorrowful bark and I can't control it well. So, after taking a few baths, my husband said, "It's easier to put it in by yourself!"

However, I haven't taken a bath even once in a year since then ... What was that "declaration to enter alone" ...

Only my husband has a hard time, so I can't declare "let's take a cat in the bath!" ... Thinking so, her husband said, sipping his runny nose.

Husband "I'm sorry, let's take a cat in the bath"

I've been waiting!

I said, "That's right ♪ It's getting warmer and it's about time!"

When I said something like that, he said, "Let's put it in on Sunday."

Husband "Let's put it in while her daughter is taking a nap"

Before I knew it, I was supposed to participate. Well, I didn't put it in alone ... Well, it's only when it's dried, so it's unavoidable ... And I put her daughter to sleep.

I "Do you want to do it?" Husband "Hmm ..."

Obviously it seems to be troublesome. Where is the tension the day before?

I "... maybe it's a little cool today" Husband "That's right! If you take a bath today, the cat will catch a cold, so let's stop!"

I was happily taking a nap.

As for the cat bath, I can't say anything because my husband asks me. Unless you are motivated, it's really hard, so it can't be helped ...

The other day, on TV, the entertainer's cat seemed to feel good even if he got wet in the bath, but I envy him ...!
