A member asked:
Hi. what are the chances to develop cat and animal allergies when an adult, if you have never had it before ? im just curious. no symptoms at all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Animal allergy: If you do not have symptoms around animals, you are not likely to be allergic to them. If you never had any environmental allergy in the past, the probability to develop a pet allergy as an adult is small but can still happen. To be sure, see an allergist.
