Which would be valid medical expenses, and what documentation would be needed?:
-Advanced air filtration system (particulates, chemicals, hepa and activated carbon filtration) for allergies & chemical sensitivities
-Vacuum with hepa filter (a far shot, but worth asking)
-Home water filtration systems, shower dechlorinator and tap purifier.
Is there a vacuum out there it is a certified air purifier? I recently learned that vacuums blow out dust, even ones with expensive hepa filters leak some form of bacteria into the air.
I’m looking for facts only, not opinions. Sources preferred.
If you take a high power flashlight and shine it at the exhaust, you can see dust coming out. Even on the new dysons, orecks and kirbys.
We live in a cozy suburban home with two domestic short hair cats, and two dogs,(a teacup chihuahua and a beagle/hound mix). The cats are strictly indoors and the dogs only go outside to potty and for walks. We keep all of our pets clean and they are all well taken care of but the shedding and pet dander are becoming a concern of mine because they are irritating my allergies a little. We regularly vacuum but seeing as it’s too cold outside to leave the windows open to help keep the house aired out I was wondering the best way to keep the air in the house and everything in it fresh from pet dander and odors. Are there any sprays or cleaners? And would an air purifier or something like that help?
I’m slightly allergic to maple and dog. But my allergy to dust and mites are so severe, that they were unable to be scaled because they were so high. I use an air purifier, enclosed my mattress, I take Calritin D, Zyrtec, vacuum using wearing a mask (we have an HEPA Hoover), and use a neti pot every day to relieve my symptoms, but it’s not enough. The symptoms bug me everyday and just get worse by the month. If I replace all my 20+ year old carpeting with hard wood flooring, will this make a drastic improvement in my allergies?
He was mad at the beginning when I got the cat because he said he felt left out, and 2nd best because he did not get to be included in picking out the pet but we were broke up at the time. 1 month later he says my kitten makes him very sick, and he has developed bronchitis from his allergies. My daughter and I both have allergies and suffer from asthma, we are o.k. I dust, vacuum daily, and put the cat in another room before he comes in, purchased a 2nd hepa air purifier, use allergen reducer carpet powder, febreze allergen reducer spray, and wash the cat every day. I even offered to buy him Claritin. The cat doesnt shed much or jump on furniture either He told me to get rid of it or hell have to stay away because of his health, my daughter and I love the new kitten so I refuse to give it away am I wrong?
i really want to get a cat but my dad is allergic to them. he said that i could get a cat if i pay for ever thing including the cat and make sure he doesn’t get an allergic reaction. we have a huge room downstairs that’s filled with Windows and fly screens. i want to keep the cat there and the room is big enough for the cat to get lots of exercise. i have 2 dogs so the cat will have to be sociable to dogs or else i wont be able to get a cat. i have a hepa air purifier and vacuum and hypoallergenic cat shampoo. i have even got a specially designed brush that attracts the allergen and picks up hair fibers and dander. if worst comes to worst my dad said he would even get the allergy shots or take medication for it but he would prefer not too. i have heaps of other ideas but my main concern is getting the cat. i don’t want to get a completely hairless cat or a semi hairless cat like the cornish rex or the devon rex because they don’t have very good temperaments and do not get along with dogs. Can you please suggest a good lap cat that is small, has short fur, has a great temperament (loves to be held and patted) gets along with dogs and doesn’t shed much. i know its allot to ask but as many breeds as you can find will be great
also is it true that if you handle a kitten allot when its young it will get used to it? thanks.

Today I even offered to buy him Claritin and buy a cage to go outside to put the kitten in when he comes over he said no b/c he didn’t want to put his health at risk and he broke up with me. What should I do?

My air filter was inserted incorrectly and now dirt particles are stuck in the heat pump coils. I only have a 4" space to run a vacuum across the coils. Other than to remove the duct work, how would anyone clean these return coils? Seems very dirty and difficult to access.
