Similar : Similar to being allergic to other animals, people can be allergic to rabbits. Allergy symptoms can range from the sniffles to breathing difficulties (such as asthma), to urticaria (hives). Having a bunny as a pet can be fun but also can cause skin allergies as mentioned above. An allergist can perform allergy testing to determine if you or your roommate is allergic.

Bunny Allergy: Move the bunny out of the living space, into an area where the roommate will not be for a week to determine if the bunny is the cause. Or see an allergist.
