DateFriday, February 22, 2008 at 07:12PM

True or False?

 

1) It is okay to bring a cat or dog into your home as long as your skin test to them are negative.

2) Dust mite encasements are useless against cat and dog dander that infiltrates mattresses and pillows.

3) There is evidence that weekly cat or dog bathing may be helpful for pet allergy.

4) Hepa filters (High Efficiency Air Filters) are highly effective at reducing indoor allergy triggers including pet dander.

5) There are non-allergic cats and dogs available for allergy sufferers who desire these indoor pets.

Find the answers in the Answer Widget to the left.
