sensation of hair in my mouth, throat and on my face
by jlsc5216, Oct 21, 2006 12:00AM
I have been having the sensation that I have hair in my mouth, throat and on my face. I have also had periodic itching sensations on my skin everywhere. Every couple of minutes or so I feel like I walked through a spider web. I also feel like I have random hair in my mouth. This all started after having a dog in our house for 12 hours. I went to the dr and he tested me for allergies and found that I am not allergic to dogs and that I am only mildly allergic to dust mites and pollen. The dog was only in our house for about 24 hours and my symptoms have not gone away. Has anyone had this or heard of it? My dr put me on allergy meds but they aren't working, just making me tired.

It’s has been over a year since my experience and I have done a lot of research about what kind of dogs I might not be allergic to. I found that Labradoodles would probably be a good match for my allergies. My wife and I decided to purchase a puppy and see what happens. I did my research on breeders and visited two breeders before selecting a puppy. The breeder we purchased the puppy from knew I was allergic and agreed to let me return the puppy for a full refund if I was allergic. It only took about 30 minutes of having the puppy in my car before I started getting the same symptoms. We thought the symptoms could be from other dogs, etc that were at the breeders so we decided to give the puppy a bath once we returned home. We bathed the puppy but the symptoms still existed. I thought it might take some time for the symptoms to subside so I waited. The symptoms got worse over the night and in the morning I was miserable. I knew what I had to do so I called the breeder and let her know I had to bring the puppy back. We drove 1 ½ hours back to the breeder to return the puppy . When we returned home we clean and vacuumed the house. The symptoms last a couple more days but immediately decreased once the dog was out of the house.
The symptoms I had included; the feeling of hair on my face (like I walked through a spider web), feeling of hair in my mouth, itching all over my body, and at night I felt like I had a tightness in my chest.
I have simular issues?
