So I recently ended up in the resusatation department in the hospital. I had collapsed, and they were concerned about respiratory failure while visiting my parents in law who own 2 cats.
Just had the results back from my allergy test and im very strongly allergy to cats, like if I get an allergic reaction I've been advised to call 999 (im in the UK) to request an ambulance level of allergic reaction. I do however own a cat myself and im perfectly fine with him even sleeping in the same bed without taking any allergy medication. But I also know some cats are better / worse as the allergy comes from saliva not the cat itself.
The reaction was strong enough they have also advised I dont be around people who own a cat as cat saliva on there clothing could cause this again, this also includes at work.
The thing is how do I explain to people I actually cant come over to your home as I might end up hospital. My parents and inlaws own cats so im now in a case where I just cant ever visit them basically but how do I explain that to them ?
