Some Girl asked:


I grew up in Kentucky… and every spring it would rain and I would be up all night coughing and wheezing. I moved to Japan and had no allergies for over 3 years.

Then I moved to Texas and had a different kind of allergic response. It was more the itchy eyes and sneezing… but when I would run, it felt like I had asthma.

I now live in Utah and last summer was miserable! Same symptoms as I had in Texas. The winter has been wonderful without allergies.

Is there something I should start taking now to prevent allergies this spring/summer? And what should I take?

JStrat asked:


I would like a pet I can actually pet. I love dogs and cats, but have found my allergies and asthma act up around them - are there certain breeds I should look for? I’ve tried fish and lizards, but they just aren’t very pet-like, though I enjoy having them around. Are there dogs and cats that are better for people with allergies? Maybe certain short-hair breeds? Or other pets that are great? Thank you for any help!
