Human allergy to dogs
Dog lovers, who develop human allergy to dogs, will go to any lengths to take proper medication to see their symptoms don’t get overblown. Or else they have to part with their lovable pets. Human allergy to dogs can develop at any age. Those who suffer from pollen and dust allergy are more susceptible to dog allergy too. It is the dander or the continuous shedding of the skins dead cells, (that stick on to the dogs hair), saliva, and the albumin found in the urine of the dog that causes human allergy to dogs.
Symptoms that arise from human allergy to dogs are itchy skin, watering of eyes, appearance of rash, runny nose, asthma symptoms, etc. These will vary from individual to individual. Once the dog is removed from the home environ, these symptoms will subside over time. But this will not work out with animal lovers. They will suffer their disease but not leave their pets. The American Kennel club has a list of breeders who breed pets for people with allergies. Such pets have a hairless coat, which hardly has any dander falling off. Allergy sufferers can adopt such pets.
Why some people develop allergies and others don’t, have made allergy research very complex. A whole lot of information on the immune system and allergies are available on the net. This information is for awareness and not diagnostic in nature.
