Why get a Cat Allergy Test?
Severe sneezing, runny mucus, or skin and eye irritation show that you have an allergic reaction towards some animals. Also, consider this if you are currently taking antihistamines.
17-in-1 biomarkers include:
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE), which indicates antibody levels.
- Dog
- Horse
- Mouse
- Rat
- Cow
- Sheep
- Rabbit
- Hamster
- Guinea pig
- Budgerigar
- Finch feathers
- Canary bird feathers
- Parrot feathers

They are caused by the body rejecting a substance produced by a specific animal. The allergens, which are interpreted as harmful substances, cause the immune system to overreact by overproducing antibodies.

Animal Allergies: A Testimony
How do you recognise them and how should you react?
These are frequent and can cause respiratory issues and skin problems in both adults and children.
Proteins in the saliva and dander of animals such as dogs and cats commonly cause an allergic reaction, while mites that nest in their fur do so less frequently. Assume a patient susceptible to certain allergens comes into contact with them. In that event, they may have respiratory difficulties, ranging from basic allergy oculorhinitis (stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, burning eyes and throat) to severe asthma episodes.
We talked about it further with Professor Enrico Heffler, an allergist at Humanitas.
Be aware of these symptoms.
What are the symptoms, and why do they appear?
The majority of reactions occur after being exposed to animals like horses, guinea pigs, and others, as well as their allergens. The most common responses are respiratory, such as rhinitis or asthma, however skin reactions may also occur.
Cats are the most common source of pet-related problems, as saliva, urine, excrement, dandruff, and sweat build up in their fur and spread to furniture and the environment. Individuals who are allergic to cats frequently have immediate and strong symptoms, similar to those induced by horses, albeit interaction with horses is less common. Dogs are also common, albeit less severe, as are rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds.
There are so many to test for.
Someone who is allergic to one animal should be very cautious because this can lead to ones for other species. Children who are raised in an animal friendly atmosphere, particularly from birth, are way less likely to acquire allergies. However, the myth that there are less allergenic cat or dog breeds can’t be believed. The differences in symptoms caused by different breeds of the same species are determined by many of reasons, including predisposition, size, and its sex, or even the increased or decreased generation of dandruff.
How is it diagnosed?
Assume you suspect you are sensitive towards an animal or someone in your environment. In that situation, you should schedule an appointment with a professional as soon as possible, particularly if you often interact with animals. Usually, two procedures can be used to confirm its presence: a finger prick exam and screening for IgE in blood.
Finger pricking is easy.
The search for IgE, on the other hand, is conducted through analysis, and the results are provided in accordance with the analysis laboratory’s schedule.
Treatment methods range from antihistamines to vaccinations.
If the animal cannot be removed, the family member’s contact with the animal should be limited to the greatest extent possible, and the person should seek treatment. It is also recommended to pay special attention to the hygiene of the domestic environment, which includes cleaning the floors, drapes, armchairs, sofas, and mattresses on a regular basis, as well as washing the animal more frequently than usual. Activating air filtration devices can also be beneficial.
To ease symptoms, oral antihistamines, eye drops, and corticosteroids are recommended.
