Animal Allergen Hypersensitivity

Animal allergen hypersensitivity occurs when a person's immune system overreacts to proteins found in animals, such as pet dander, saliva, or urine. Common symptoms include sneezing, itching, and difficulty breathing. Immunological reactions can lead to conditions like allergic rhinitis or asthma. This hypersensitivity can arise from direct contact with animals or exposure to their environment. Managing this condition often involves avoiding allergens, using air purifiers, and, in some cases, taking medications like antihistamines. Understanding one's specific triggers can help in effectively reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
