About Animal Allergy
Do you know your allergy can get worse on coming in contact with animal fur or animal dander? Many individuals are allergic to the animals that have fur or feathers. However, some of the most common allergies are from close contact with cats and dogs. As per Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America about 30% of individuals have allergies in the US and can be allergic to cats and dogs. The probability of being allergic to cats is twice as much as that of a dog allergy. In this article we will learn about Ayurvedic treatment of Animal Allergy along with its causes and symptoms in detail.
The symptoms of animal allergy can be broadly classified in two broad categories such as nasal allergy and skin allergy. According to Ayurveda, the skin-related symptoms of animal allergy can be correlated with kshudra kushta while the respiratory symptoms of pert allergy can be correlated with kaphaja pratisyaya and Tamak swasa.
Look no further if you are searching for the best Ayurvedic treatment for Animal Allergy as our dedicated team has conducted thorough research to formulate unique combinations that will offer an effective and long-lasting solution to your allergy-related woes. Book your appointment to get consulted now.
Causes of Animal Allergy
It is important to understand which animal parts can initiate an allergic reaction in individuals that are prone to animal allergies. The people with animal allergies produce an allergic reaction to harmless proteins present in dander, saliva, urine, and feces.
Dander: It is the tiny flakes of dead skin cells present in animal’s fur, hair, or feathers and animals like cat, dogs, rabbit, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits shed dander.
The individuals having allergies to animal proteins may inhale or touch allergens that cause their immune system to initiate an allergic reaction by releasing histamine that causes nose, throat, and skin symptoms. Also some people show signs of contact dermatitis when coming in contact with animal allergens.
Symptoms of Animal Allergy
The symptoms of animal allergy can be divided into nasal allergy and skin allergy. Nasal symptoms produced from animal allergy are:
- Itchiness in nose, eyes, throat, or roof of the mouth
- Runny nose
- Blocked nose
- Sneezing
- Red or watery eyes
- Problem in breathing
- Wheezing while exhaling
- Disturbed sleep due to shortness of breath
Skin symptoms produced from animal allergy are:
- Raised patches red in color or hives
- Itchiness in skin
- Eczema
- Burning sensation
- Swelling or tenderness
Sometimes the symptoms of animal allergy are mild but on other occasions it may worsen asthma symptoms and can trigger a severe asthmatic attack. It is therefore essential to treat the symptoms of animal allergies at the earliest.
