Exposure to Cats Increases Bronchial Responsiveness in People Without Specific Cat Allergy
American Thoracic Society (ATS)Researchers in the United Kingdom have found that increased exposure to cat allergen is associated with greater bronchial responsiveness (BR) in people with certain common allergies, even if they are not specifically allergic to cats. This suggests that reduced exposure to cats may be beneficial for allergic individuals, regardless of their specific allergies.
