One day before starting SLIT, I tested the strength of my normal allergic reactions. I played with my cat for fifteen minutes, petting her to send her shed fur in the air and keeping my face at most a foot away from her. Here are the symptoms I noticed, as well as when I began to notice them and when they started to fade away: 0:00- Start playing with cat 6:30- Nose begins to itch 8:00- Nose starts running, becomes congested 13:15- Sneeze four times 15:00- Stop playing with cat 21:30- Nose still itchy, congested 25:00- Sneeze four times 27:50- Nose stops itching 36:00- Sneeze four times ~5:00:00- Congestion stops There were some problems that I ran into. The first was that my cat, being hyper and having an attention span of two milliseconds, kept running off and attacking things. I dealt with this by shutting her in my room, so she wouldn't get too far, and next time I will do this experiment when she is tired so she doesn't want to go attack things. Another issue...
