There are a plethora of studies that link allergies to pasteurized milk. If any milk products, then only Yoghurt.

I have a pet with allergies. I find using an allergen free laundry soap helps as does dusting (Pledge makes one to help reduce allergens), frequently washing rugs and don't forget to vacuum, vacuum, VACUUM!
