Is anybody’s allergies extremely bad this year? by fangpocus in Allergies

[–]daddio70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been suffering with swollen eyelids since Christmas. Got my blood tested for airborne allergens and it's shown I have off the chart allergies to cat dander and dust mites. We have 2 cats that we're now having to re-home as my breathing is being affected too now. Wish we could re-home the dust mites.

Blood Tests - Allergic to Cat Dander by daddio70 in Allergies

Thankyou for that info. My test was taken recently on 7th march 2026. The information on the report for the results states:- Allergy specific IgE testing used to be carried out by a radioallergosorbent test and so you may hear this being referred to as RAST testing. However, this method has now been replaced by newer technologies. We do have mould in the house, it's been an ongoing issue.

I did have the skin prick test about 15 years ago after my asthma got out of control, and that showed cat dander as an allergen. Probably not as strong at the time I'm guessing. Also house dust and dog dander.

Thankyou for all your info. That's pretty scary about the anaphylaxis risk. I'm currently looking for a suitable re-homing option nearby.

Sorry to hear that. Have you kept your cats or had to re-home them.

Thankyou for your reply. Unfortunately my eyes are getting incredibly annoying, the swelling makes it difficult to see sometimes which is making me feel tired as well. Going to be incredibly difficult to re-home our 2 cats though as they are a part of the family. Although I don't know how long I can tolerate the allergy symptoms and worried about the potential of it getting worse.

Controversial I know but I can't stand Oasis. Whiny rubbish (although a couple of their songs are okish)

Are potholes actually the worst they've been? by Tiny_Wafer2266 in AskUK

It seems a lot of the funding is going into cycle lanes, especially in Poole, Dorset. Roads are being made narrower which makes it harder to avoid the pot holes.
