Can pets make my P worse?????

[ukvamps]

I suffer from P badly on roughly 76% of my body and I am now starting to wonder wether my parrot may be attributing to my P.  Has anyone found this???
I suffer NO allergic reactions as in wheezing, runny eyes, couging etc but I do find my P is a lot worse when i have been handling

I never had any pets when I have had bad outbreaks of P (the worst being 90%).  I have had cats and now have two dogs and neither have made any difference.
As for birds, I have a silly fear of them (all that flapping around) so they certainly cause a reaction from me, just not with my P.

Thanks for that Jas!!!

No problem I find pets to be a calming influence and are great pals.

Being around cats and dogs and even horses haven't made my p any worse...

I can't say I've ever noticed a difference.

Don't think I could resist cuddling my kitties even if it did

Must say - i haven't noticed any difference, in fact my P has had its worst outbreak lately - but thats a good 3 year since the cat died.

I am begining to wonder if having pets is a good thing for a calming, relaxed
environment.

I have always had cats and horses (and various rodents as a child) until 2 years ago.
I never had psoriasis until approx 2 years ago and just put my first outbreak down to stress at work and family illness.

What time does Wood Green stay open until?  
Definately when I move to a quieter area.

Going to get one soon - was just waiting until all the kids were toilet trained!
