If you don't mind me asking, what do you take for your rosacea?  My
dermatologist said I have that too, but it never occured tome that my
ferret or my cats would be a cause of it!  I can deal with it though, if
that's what it is.  I used to be allergic tomy pets, then suddenly, in my
30's I stopped being allergic (sneezing, runny nose, etc.).  Maybe this
is just another way of my allergies presenting themselves!  Oh well....
