(G) There is now a medication you can give a dog or a cat that will cause it to produce less dander and supposedly makes it easier on those with dander allergies. When I had Felix, if I had someone coming over that had cat allergies, I'd meet them outside so they'd not have to suffer. RH> Sounds good to me.

Oh, I am on minocycline for the next three months. No sun, of course. The timing is terrible for taking pills and I have yet to take a dose. In about an hour, I'll finally take one. The rest of my medical team doesn't understand why the infectious disease doctor keeps shoving antibiotics in me since my cultures are showing up negative. He's destroyed my gut flora though even with taking probiotics. RH> Take out the cilantro and it's a "go' here.

I like cilantro; I seem to be in a minority with my friends and family in that respect.
