Rob Davies of The Daily Mail released: September 1, 2014 19: 22 EDT | update: 21: 22 EDT on September 1, 2014, millions of cat allergy patients only know these symptoms-red, itchy eyes, sneezing uncontrollable cough, even a serious rash.
But as a British company is working on a vaccine, help will come soon. The company says the vaccine can even make the softest cats completely harmless. Sheffield-
Benchmark says its revolutionary injections can \"neutralize\" the cat itself, rather than forcing humans to receive expensive treatments that usually have limited effects.
It works by attacking the protein carried in cat saliva, urine and sweat, which is the most common cause of cat allergy.
More than 725 people, about a tenth of the global population, are considered allergic to cats, but the choice to relieve symptoms is limited.
Patients can take the opposite
Amine or regular injections to stimulate the body\'s natural immune system.
Some websites recommend using air purifiers and even bathing your cat as often as possible, which can be difficult if the animal does not cooperate.
This new vaccine, known as HypoCat, works by attacking the main allergen Fel d1 protein carried by cats and kittens.
Saliva d1 is present in Saliva, urine, and sweat, and it is covered in the fur of cats when it is licked clean.
The protein is then attached to cat dandruff, which is a tiny particle on a dry skin, equal in size to 1 out of 10 mites.
When cats linger in their territory, they leave dandruff on surfaces such as bedding and sofas, causing serious damage to allergic patients whose symptoms are caused by proteins.
However, Benchmark cat claims that HypoCat can completely neutralize the Fel d1 protein without harming the cat.
The company spent up to £ 8 million to commercialize research by the Swiss company HypoPet of the University of Zurich, hoping to provide fake cats through veterinarians within three to four years.
Morin Jenkins, UK Allergy Clinical director, said the vaccine could have a huge impact on allergy patients in the UK, which has an army of about 8 people. 5million cats.
This is a major issue in this country, she said, so it may be very important.
\"Some people avoid cats like the plague, and they may have a very serious reaction when they are exposed.
It can also lead to a system that lasts for a long time, and many people don\'t realize what that is.
Benchmark said it believes HypoCat will open up a new market for Cat Vaccines worth up to pounds.
Life sciences analysts at City of London\'s Cenkos Securities say the vaccine has a large potential market.
They added that we believe this approach will bring a relatively simple solution for cats and people with cat allergies.
