Never heard of it. Do you have an ingredients list?

Honestly, and it sounds stupid, but I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY warn against you getting a pit bull if you are allergic to dogs. Pit bulls shed, they also have very irritatingly short fur and oily coats. Not really good for allergy sufferers. My gf is allergic to dogs. That's why she has poodles. Since I moved in with my two dogs, her allergies and asthma have gotten worse.

Anyway, I understand you want a dog, but a pit bull is definitely not a good dog for people with dog allergies.

I would make sure you wash your hands every time after touching the dog with a stripping detergent, then of course hypoallergenic lotion after that so your hands don't dry out. I know people that, if they touch a dog, then touch their eyes or any mucus membrane, they puff up. My boss is actually allergic to dogs like pit bulls and shar-peis, and the tiniest rub against the grain will cause her to break out in hives.

i'm no where near that bad, cause the day i was around her it didn't bother me at all.so hopefully pit/husky is one of the lesser dog's i'm allergic to.(at least so far that's how it seems)

I am allergic to dogs (but am a HUGE dog lover) so started out with poodles (I have a standard poodle) but have also found that I can tolerate pit bull types too - my allergies to them are just as mild as they are to poodles. So long as I don't rub my face in their fur and wash my hands after a good pet/snuggling session, wash the dogs every 2 -4 weeks, I'm ok! And yet my brother has a scruffy GSD/terrier mix and I can't be around him for more than an hour before I get asthma issues. So it may just depend on the individual with the allergies and the individual dog.

so far no issues when i have been over to my gf's house.which it does depend on the person and the dog. for example my friends weiner dog that thing flaries up my allergies, where my gf it doesn't bother her allergies at all. while so far the pitbull we got hasn't bothered really either of are allergies.(granted still new to the house but yet the dander and hair is pretty much in every room already. so i am figure it should be fine if, her house stays clean.)
