Cat and dog Owners may have higher immunity to prevent COVID-19
Do you have a cat or dog at home? Did you know that they can improve your immunity?
This is what Sabina Olex-Condor found out. She is an emergency physician in Madrid, and she made an amazing finding.
According to her, based on 100 patients infected by COVID-19, people who have dogs or cats can tolerate the new coronavirus more easily, or even completely asymptomatic.
According to Sabina, cats can have the feline coronavirus, that doesn’t infect people. This way, it is possible that people who have close, daily contact with cats develop antibodies for the feline virus that can also destroy the human virus. Isn’t it interesting?
She came to this conclusion after asking the infected patients if they had pets when orientating them as to how to proceed with isolation at home.
At that moment, she realized that none of the people infected had cats.
Some patients had dogs, but almost none of them had cats. Although the research was small and without any statistics, Sabina will develop this study as soon as the situation improves, to have a wider number of interviews.
The doctor also says that this is called cross-creativity and exists in nature. The daily contacts with saliva and hair of domestic animals
can reinforce people’s immunity against viruses.It is known that this is not a
guarantee of complete protection since not all cats gat in contacts
with the feline coronavirus,
and also not every person develops immunity in the same way. In this case, the hypotesis
suggested by Olex-Condor is that
the contact with the saliva and hair of domestic pets might strenghten the human
immunity against the virus. On the other hand, it is known
that, due to the pandemic the number of abandoned
animals has been increasing,
If you have any of the symptoms of the virus,socially distance from your pets to protect your whole family,including your anilamls.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 and your pet is behaving oddly, call the veterinary and explain the situation.
