Reptile Allergy

Reptile allergy refers to allergic reactions caused by exposure to reptiles, such as snakes, lizards, and turtles. These allergies typically arise from proteins found in the reptile's skin, saliva, or waste. Symptoms can include sneezing, itching, skin rashes, and respiratory issues. While less common than allergies to cats or dogs, some people may be sensitive to pet reptiles. If you suspect a reptile allergy, it's essential to consult an allergist for testing and advice on managing your symptoms and reducing exposure.
