Cats will clean themselves with their tongues and then rub against just about everything, spreading the allergens generously throughout the home. It may be necessary to clean all the surfaces where the cat was rubbing - especially bedding (if the cat spent much time in Emily's room) or clothing.<br /><br />My dd, dh and I are all very allergic to cats. We are fond of them, but can never, ever have one as a pet.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. At this point I'll try anything. Many of the lotions we tried, end up making her feel like her skin is on fire and I have found that Vaseline cream is a good choice. I will try the particular Vaseline brand you mentioned though. Thank you!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813884721045918546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199834575705009097.post-17823469237160658912012-11-16T10:14:52.504-05:002012-11-16T10:14:52.504-05:00Hi Terri!

My daughter (also named Emily!), 16, has also suffered with skin and respiratory issues, although not as severe as your daughter has. A few years ago, her hands became severely chapped and cracked every winter--they looked as though she'd been scalded. We tried so many lotions and creams that I can't list them all. Most of them caused burning and worse problems because of the ingredients (even those that claimed to be fragrance free). She is a cellist and spends a couple of hours every single day in her orchestra rehearsals, and she really needed her hands to heal. Finally last winter we tried Vaseline Intensive Rescue Clinical Therapy Body lotion. Every night in fall and winter, she puts it on at bedtime and then wears gloves during the night. Last year it made such an amazing difference in her skin,and she could tell a difference if she skipped a couple of nights. Maybe you could try this for your Emily. I know her itching comes from things she is ingesting, but maybe this will give her some relief on the outside so she can sleep. I hope it will help!Nita in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361502452870503199noreply@blogger.com
