Question 3

how to tell if child has dog, cat, or rabbit allergies?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms, tests: Animal danders r strong triggers for allergy symptoms. If a child is allergic to animal dander, she/he may sneeze, wheeze, cough, develop hives or itchy eyes when he/she pets the animal, or even be in the same room with the animal.  You can confirm the allergy be doing allergy testing w an allergist.

Question 4

watery eyes. can this be an allergy to rabbits or smoke?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Allergy to rabbits can certainly cause watery eyes, but it is usually accompanied by itching of the eyes/nose and sneezing, congestion, or breathing symptoms. Smoke is an irritant that can irritate the membranes covering the eyes. It also irritates the mucus membranes in the nose and lungs, so may also cause congestion and wheezing, but should not cause itching. See an eye doctor or allergist.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Allergy to rabbit: It appears to avoidance of further contact is the reasonable approach.  Be sure to wash all of the clothing you wore while handling the rabbit. I presume the drops helped.

Question 6

what could cause allergies all year long?

Accepted Answer

All year long.: Most commonly dust mites and molds and pets. In rare cases, what you work around.

Question 7

what are the main causes of allergies during the winter?

Accepted Answer

Indoor allergens: There is little that pollinates in the winter. If you are in the south you may experience mountain cedar pollinating then, but in the north there isn't really anything. So allergies in the winter tend to be caused by indoor allergens (pets, etc), or are not allergies but upper respiratory infections, or irritant responses to pollution, response to cold/dry air, etc.

Question 8

i am having allergy symptoms in my house. what may cause these outbreaks?

Accepted Answer

Indoor allergies: Common indoor allergens include dust mite and animal dander.  Other less common indoor allergens are mold, cockroach, other pets (birds, rodents), and feathers (pillows, comforters).   During tree, grass or weed pollen season, pollen may blow through screens or open doors or windows, making it seem like indoor allergens.  An allergist can perform skin tests for these and have an answer in 20 min.

Question 9

Why some adults can consume crabs their entire life without any problems and others can go on to develop symptoms is unknown.  Shellfish allergy is a common adult allergen and symptoms can vary from one accidental exposure to the next so avoidance once symptoms develop is the best way to manage.

Question 10
