    Contrary to popular belief, you grow INTO allergies, not out of them. They usually worsen with each new encounter, so if you encounter this again, your reaction will be more severe. Keep that epi-pen with you!

    Strange you say that. I grew up horribly allergic to cats, but after 4 years with my girlfriend->fiance->Wife's cat, I'm not nearly as allergic to them anymore. The only issue I have now, is if I touch my eyes after petting him, I get puffy/itchy.
