állatszrallergénekre

Allergens from animals, commonly referred to as állatszrallergénekre in Hungarian, are proteins found in an animal's dander, urine, saliva, and skin cells. These proteins are the primary cause of allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to them. Unlike the animal's fur or hair itself, which can trap allergens, it is the microscopic particles shed by the animal that trigger the immune response.

Common sources of animal allergens include cats, dogs, rodents like mice and hamsters, and birds. Even animals that are considered hypoallergenic can still produce allergens, as no animal is entirely allergen-free. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can range from mild to severe and may include sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, hives, and in more serious cases, difficulty breathing or asthma attacks.

Exposure to animal allergens can occur through direct contact with an animal or indirectly via contaminated clothing, furniture, or air. Allergic individuals may experience symptoms immediately upon exposure or develop them over time. Diagnosis typically involves a medical history, physical examination, and allergy testing, such as skin prick tests or blood tests. Management strategies often include allergen avoidance, medication to relieve symptoms, and in some cases, immunotherapy (allergy shots) to desensitize the immune system to the allergen.
