Allergic Reactions to Frogs

Allergic reactions to frogs can occur when a person's immune system mistakenly identifies proteins found in frog skin or secretions as harmful. This can lead to symptoms such as skin rashes, hives, or respiratory issues, like asthma or nasal congestion. People with allergies may be sensitive to direct contact with frogs or their environments, such as ponds or wetlands. While rare, these reactions can vary in severity. Avoiding direct contact and consulting an allergist for tests or treatments can help manage and understand these allergies.
