Allergens can also be present in the saliva and urine of animals and can be spread through the air when animals lick their coats. Allergic reactions can range from mild sniffling and sneezing to life-threatening asthma, and can be complicated by compounding reactions caused by other allergens in the environment. Some people who are allergic to cats can live with cats in the winter, but find it very difficult in the spring. Many allergic patients have more than one allergen, including dust, pesticides, pollen, cigarettes, smoke, etc. Such patients need to comprehensively reduce allergens in the environment, not just cat dander.
