Is there an allergy shot that my dog can take instead of me?

by on 01. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by traceya87: Is there an allergy shot that my dog can take instead of me?
I am allergic to dogs. Is their a shot that they can get so I don't react to their dander? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by mockstarI've never heard of one, but if you came up with it, you'd be a very rich person. I would just make sure to put it in with something else they need, so people don't get "rabid" about giving shots to dogs which you yourself don't want.

Q&A: What is the difference between lactose intolerance and milk allergy?

by on 01. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by elsulliv78: What is the difference between lactose intolerance and milk allergy?

Best answer:

Answer by The DocWell, lactose intolerance is common and is what people usually mean when they talk about a "milk allergy" (a true allergy to milk is very rare, I've never seen one). Lactose intolerance causes, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea when you eat too much dairy (how much is too much? Depends on the person) and it's caused by the gradual decrease in the amount of lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products) …

Question by CC: Can an allergy to sperm or semen develop?
