The second one is the Fel d 2, this allergy type is triggered by the cats dead skin flake (dander) floating in the air, as well as in the cat pee.

Air Purifiers

Air Purifiers are used in many places. They are to capture viruses, fungi, dust, and in this case; cat dander. One filter in particular that is recommended for relieving allergies if the cat is unavoidable is a HEPA air filter. These same filters are used in planes constantly circulating air.

Development of other treatments[edit]
Development of several human vaccines have been abandoned, including Allervax and Cat-SPIRE. As of 2019, the Swiss company HypoPet AG is developing a vaccine it hopes could be administered to cats to reduce the emission of Fel d 1 proteins.

More recently, in 2022 at the National Institute of Health they did an experiment with allergy shots and monoclonal antibody Tezepelumab. Among the tests, the participants with the shot and the tezepelumab had greater results than with the placebo and the single allergy shot.
