All my life, I have been haunted by a host of allergies that make my eyes swell nearly shut and itch like crazy. Chief among these allergies is cat hair. I am so bothered by cat dander that I can no longer go to my brother’s house for poker night. One time, I ended up sleeping on the couch which also doubled as the cat bed. Not only did I roll over onto a cat and squish it, I also woke up majorly congested with a red area about my body where the hapless cat spent its final moments.
