My wife is allergic (fatally so, as in within 2 hours she is noticeably having a hard time breathing - within 4 hours she needs to leave or risks passing out her airway is so constricted - once she gets to the point, the next 2 days are shot as she recovers - it's basically like recovering from a nasty cold).
My point? I hate you guys and your cats.

It isn't cat hair. It's their saliva - and it is on everything.
She investigated shots.
1. our insurance doesn't cover it
2. it's 3-4 shots a week for 2 months, then 1-2 a week for 4 months
3. $45 per shot
4. 3-5 year maintenance program to maintain
5. immunologist said it was truly 50/50 if she would be able to live with cats after treatment. There would be improvement for sure, but not necessarily to the point she could actually live with a cat.
