I fell asleep with the kitty today, and now Im suffering the consequences. Apparently its not really the fur that gives you the hay fever effect...its the proteins within their hair shafts and saliva. So all we need to do now is genetically modify a cat and change the sequence of its hair/saliva proteins such that it doesnt trigger allergies.
A plausible yet controversial step towards a more comfotable lifestyle. Imagine the possibilities. Animal lover owners able to cuddle their beloved pets without any restrictions. Asthmatics not having to worry about visiting friends with critter obsessions. Indeed. Allergies that make you grow eyeballs instead of hives. . .
