| Pet Allergy Multiplicity |  Horse Allergy
This is a rather strange type of allergy and sometimes it is difficult to diagnose. Horse riding is usually done outdoors so if the person suspects an allergy it is usually pollen or dust but the horse allergy. Very often these patients are allergic to horse hair and dander, and treatment includes horse avoidance, medication and/or allergy shots to decrease the immune system's sensitivity to horse allergen.
Rodent Allergy
The rodents to cause pet allergy are mice, guinea pigs and rats. The rodent's urine has a high concentration of protein, which is the primary trigger for allergic reactions. After the urine dries, its proteins become airborne and are inhaled, leading to allergy symptoms. The people to get such allergy include veterinarians, laboratory technicians and people who live in rodent-infested homes.
Cockroach Allergy
Roaches, especially the German cockroach, are a usual pest in crowded cities all over the world. Recent studies have shown that, in inner cities, exposure to roach droppings is a major risk factor for allergies and asthma. You can avoid cockroaches by installing roach baits and traps, extermination and keeping your house in order. This includes not leaving food or water out in open containers, and washing and drying dishes after each meal. Emptying areas of standing water, such as the refrigerator draining pan, and wiping down sinks can help prevent roaches from water source. Though the pests can go for weeks without food, they won't last long without water, which is why they are often found around kitchens or bathrooms. Unfortunately, though, we can't encourage cleanliness in their neighbors. People who don't reach the results with avoidance measures can be treated with medications and allergy immunization.
Other Animals
The saliva and urine of other animals can also cause allergic reactions. When their secretions become dry and airborne they can cause allergic reactions. Horse and cow skin scales can be allergenic to those exposed to them. Birds carry allergy-provoking mites, moulds and pollen on their feathers. Birds’ droppings released in the air are also very dangerous for those who suffer from the allergies as they are easily breathed in and the allergic reactions appear almost at once. Rabbits and guinea pigs do not produce much hair but their urine may cause trouble. They should not live in the house but outside and be cared for by a person without allergies. Tropical fish may be problematic, for those who develop allergies to the ant's eggs upon with the fish feed, and moulds that may grow in the fish tank.
