对过敏患者最常见的建议是避免接触过敏原。

因此,医生和过敏症专科医生通常建议将猫从家中带走,或至少将猫带离家中的主要生活区。1,2

一些猫主人可能会重新安置或放弃养猫,而其他人可能会把他们的猫隔离在家中的一个房间里。虽然这在某些情况下可能有所帮助,但它不是首选或有保证的解决方案。将猫隔离在家里的一个地方,甚至完全避开猫,都可能无法消除过敏反应。

事实

将猫隔离到家中的一个区域可能会减少家中其他区域的过敏原,但过敏原仍会在家里的空气中和衣服等其他柔软的表面上自由扩散。


  • Fel d 1(猫的主要过敏原)的结构使其“具有粘性”,并将附着在衣服和其他物体表面,从而导致其扩散到周围环境中。2-9
  • Fel d 1 的体积很小,使其能够在空气中长时间传播,成为最容易吸入或在家中自由扩散的过敏原之一,甚至不受外界的干扰。2-4,8-10
  • 即使在没有猫的家里也可以找到 Fel d 1。研究表明,Fel d 1 可以通过衣服携带到学校、办公室和许多其他公共场所。1-4,9,11

一些主人可能会选择把他们的猫从家里带走,以减轻他们的过敏。但是,这可能无法防止过敏反应。


  • Fel d 1 水平可能需要数周的时间才能充分降低,如果将猫从家中带走,过敏症状可能无法立即缓解。12,13
  • 清洁的表面和柔软的材料(如毯子、沙发和地毯)以及过滤空气均有助于减少家中的猫过敏原。1,2,12,13

Fel d 1 很容易随皮屑和灰尘颗粒在空气中传播,并被动地转移到衣服上;2-4 因此,几乎所有地方都可以发现过敏原,包括学校、没有猫的家庭,公共交通和公共建筑,其水平可能会引发敏感个体的过敏。16,18-21
