Preventing Allergies To Cats


Unfortunately, there is no way to totally prevent allergies of any kind.  But a universal truth about allergies that can help is to avoid the trigger.  With cats the irritant is generally the dander.  Many mistake cat hair as an allergen when this is not true at all.

The microscopic flakes of dead skin (dander) are the usual culprit for pet owners who find their bodies going into overdrive when they are near their cat and/or in a space that is regularly occupied by a feline companion.
It’s sticky stuff so it attaches to everything including clothes, hair, cat hair, and other more usual household pollutants such as plain old dust.  It can stick to walls and furniture that your cat frequents. So bottom line, it can be a nightmare.
Continually filtering the dander and the particles it attaches to is one of the most effective ways to effectively reduce the amount available to be inhaled. 
 
The best type of filter to deal with these microscopic particles is a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter.
By definition this type of filter must be able to remove 99.97% of airborne particles that are .3 microns or larger.  And the advantage is that the only by-product is fresh air.  No worries about ozone or ionized particles causing problems for you or your pet.
The Cat Dander Air Purifier is the perfect fit for this situation.  See it now at http://purerair.com/cat_dander_air_purifier.html
