No, she knew I had allergies that were best left undisturbed by
trying to bathe a very disturbed cat.

Sometimes sensitivities can come in handy!

At times, but don't want to push the envelop there. I saw on the news
(in the past few days) that a medication has been developed so kids
with peanut allergies can now safely have small amounts of the nut. It won't be on the market for a while yet, and if it only allows small amounts, was it really worth the cost of developing?

The idea was to try to reduce the degree of the reaction to the
allergen when unwittingly encountered... as I understand it, it was
somewhat of an exposure to the allergen in tiny doses to build up more
of an immunity to it...

Hi Nancy,

trying to bathe a very disturbed cat.

Hopefully it will be more successful than the concept sounds. I didn't
catch, but I presume it's a "use daily" thing or your sensitivity woould
return if you didn't take it. Either way, it sounds like it's more of a
"hold that thought" sort of thing until a drug can be developed that
deals with the issue in a better way.

Catch you later,
