Polish term or phrase: sierść kota (jako alergen)
Kontekst: lista testowanych alergenów. Niby proste, ale:
1) z tego, co udało mi się znaleźć, to nie sierść uczula, a naskórek kota
2) nie wiem, czy powinno być "cat hair" czy "cat fur" czy jeszcze jakoś inaczej

English translation:cat's dander
Explanation:
zgadzam się, że to nie sierść uczula tylko złuszczony naskórek. Cat's dander to jeden z najczęstszych alergenów. A u nas potocznie mówi sie o sierści kota, nie wiem czemu

cat hair


Explanation:
is more popular and commonly used by dermatologists and veterinarians, but either hair or fur is proper
Cat Hair and Allergies
The allergen cats carry is a tiny protein particle called Feld1, which is found in cats' saliva. They transfer it to their hair when grooming, where it dries into microscopic flakes, commonly called dander. Very long or think cat hair will hold more dander, which is where the misconception that the "hair" is the allergen arises. Dander can also be found all over the house: in the air, in bedding, and in carpets and drapes. The good news is that in many cases, allergies to cat dander can be controlled.
