Allergy: Individuals can develop antibodies that activate inflammatory cells when the antibody binds to materials from horses. It can occur with even very small amount of horse exposure. Why individuals develop the antibodies is likely due to ones genes, environmental exposure and time of life when the exposure occurs.
