A member asked:
Doc says i have a class 5 allergy to cats. i just got a cat, though. can it be life threatening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: If you have allergic persistent asthma you shouldn't be around a cat even if you don't currently have cat allergy, as you would easily develop sensitivity to cats, whether owning a cat in such case is life threatening or not depends on the degree of sensitivity and the severity of symptoms
