Pet Dander Allergies -- 3 Frequent Symptoms
If you are allergic to your pet, chances are it is a warm-blooded one such as a cat, dog, bird, ferret, or bunny. These animals produce dead skin flakes that contain a protein that is one of the most potent allergens known.
This same protein is found in
their saliva, and dried urine. So this
allergen can be hard to escape.
How do
you know if you are allergic? The body
reacts by trying to flush out this allergen as it does when it perceives a
substance to be harmful.
Sneezing is one of the first
signs of problems. Since the skin and
other dried body fluids reduce to particles they are easily inhaled. Once this happens the body tries to eject
these particulates with forceful exhalation known as sneezing.
Coughing happens once the
irritants have gotten down the throat and on towards the lungs. Once again the body tries to get rid of these
triggers by forcing air out of the lungs and airways.Congestion is triggered when histamines are released in response to allergens. They cause additional fluids to be produced in the nasal passages to try to wash out the irritants.
And even though the body
means well, it can miserable to live through all of these changes. A fasting acting medication such as an
antihistamine can work once the symptoms start to appear.
One of the best ways to
minimize the number of flare-ups and their intensity is to constantly remove
the number of particulates in the air. A
high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) is the best type of filter for the
job. It can remove 99,997 out of every
10,000 particles that are .3 microns or larger.
