A member asked:
If i live with a cat and im allergic can i all of the sudden have my throat close up or something bad happens? or i develop something overtime?

Airway angioedema, a severe anaphylactic allergy which causes upper airway closuse, can happen anytime after the exposure; however, angioedema due to cat allergy is probably an extremely rare event per my experience. I, myself, have never read an article about this incident.
