To everyone out there who feels like they’re dying when they’re in the vicinity of a cat, your troubles may soon be gone! Cambridge University scientists have isolated the protein in cat dandruff (called dander) that triggers allergies in 1 in 10 people. Allergies often occur when the cat’s dander is combined with a human chemical that starts symptoms.

Prior to this discovery, the only cure for cat allergies were anti-histamines or routine injections to build up tolerance. Scientists say that the new cure will come in the form of an inhaler or pill. However, cat enthusiasts will have to sit tight for now — the cure is not set to be out on the market for another five years!

This breakthrough could bring about a cure for other allergies as well, such as dog and house mite allergies.
