Perhaps your son will grow out of his allergies. My entire family was allergic to cats. When I visited friends who had longhaired cats I would break out in hives. When I was in my twenties, I was visiting a friend who had a cat and the last of her litter. I spent a good part of the evening playing with the kitten, and I realized I wasn't sneezing or itching. That kitten came home with us, first of many.
With me, it's the around way around. We used to have cats when I was a kid, I loved it. Even guinea pigs. But then I became allergic, getting short of breath at our punky guinea pigs and all their straw and hay, and ever since it's been downhill. I had to start taking anti-allergy pills everytime I went to visit my sister and her cats and even so would have trouble. Apparently I'm allergic to all kinds of things now (house dust) - had to start taking an anti-allergy pill every day and recently, even two, otherwise I get all itchy. It really sucks, especially about the cats, I would love to have cats, and so would Anastasia, it would really make life nicer.
