<human>: I've heard that a lot of people are allergic to cats. What are some of the symptoms and what can I do?
<bot>: Some common symptoms of cat allergies include sneezing, coughing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, hives, and difficulty breathing. To reduce your risk of developing an allergy to cats, you should avoid contact with their fur or saliva as much as possible, especially if you have a family member who has an allergy. You may also want to consider using air filters in your home to help reduce the amount of allergens you're exposed to. Additionally, washing bedding and clothing frequently can help remove any potential allergens. Lastly, talk to your doctor about medications that can help manage your symptoms.
