People with hamster allergies can have reactions from direct contact with the animal or from the allergens dispersed in the air. Such reactions are common in homes with these pets or in pet care facilities.

Horse

Horse allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in a horse's skin cells (dander), saliva, and urine. It is less common than cat or dog allergies but can cause similar symptoms in sensitized individuals. People who work with horses or frequently visit stables are more likely to develop this allergy.

Mouse/Rat

Allergies to mice and rats are common, especially in laboratory settings or homes where these animals are kept as pets. Allergens from mice and rats are present in their urine, dander, and saliva, which can become airborne and lead to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Rabbit

Navigating the complexities of rabbit allergies involves understanding two distinct aspects: dietary intolerance to rabbit meat and allergic reactions to keeping rabbits as pets. Whether it's the consumption of rabbit meat that triggers symptoms or exposure to pet rabbits, being informed and cautious is crucial for those affected.

Sheep Wool

Sheep wool allergy is commonly mistaken for a reaction to the wool fibers themselves, but it's usually sensitivity to lanolin (wool grease) or other substances within the wool that triggers allergic responses. These responses can occur when wearing clothing made from sheep's wool or when exposed to wool in other products.

Allergy: Mold/Yeast

Acarus siro

Acarus siro, commonly known as the flour mite, is often found in stored grains and flour. These mites can proliferate in kitchen cupboards and pantries, especially if the storage conditions are humid. For individuals with sensitivities, exposure to Acarus siro can lead to allergic symptoms and can be particularly troublesome for those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Alternaria Alternata

Alternaria alternata is a mold that disperses spores into the air, causing allergic reactions. It grows on many plants and materials, thriving in warm, damp conditions. People with sensitivity to this mold may experience symptoms during dry, windy weather when spore counts peak.

Aspergillus Fumigatus

Aspergillus fumigatus is a type of mold that thrives in soil and decaying organic matter but can also be found indoors. It’s a significant allergen that can lead to respiratory conditions like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in susceptible individuals, particularly those with asthma or cystic fibrosis.

Candida albicans

Candida albicans is a type of yeast that can affect various parts of the body, most commonly manifesting as vaginal yeast infections and gut overgrowth. Vaginal infections bring itching, discomfort, and discharge, often due to flora imbalance. In the gut, overgrown Candida albicans disrupts digestion, causing bloating and bowel habit changes. Diet, health, and antibiotics influence both conditions, requiring tailored treatments to restore balance and relieve symptoms.

Cladosporium herbarum (Mold)

Mold allergy, particularly to Cladosporium herbarum, is a common allergic reaction to the spores of this widespread mold. Cladosporium herbarum can be found both indoors and outdoors, often in damp areas. People sensitive to mold spores may experience allergic symptoms when exposed to this mold.

Penicillium notatum

Penicillium notatum is a common mold known for its role in producing penicillin. In the home, it may cause allergies, particularly in damp areas. Exposure to this mold can trigger respiratory symptoms and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially those with mold allergies.

Allergy: Dust/Mites

Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae)

Dermatophagoides farinae, or the American house dust mite, is a major allergen in household dust. These mites are ubiquitous in upholstered furniture, carpets, and bedding, where they feed on skin cells shed by humans. Their fecal matter and body fragments can cause allergic reactions year-round, often leading to allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (D. pteronyssinus)

Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, commonly known as the European house dust mite, is a prevalent source of indoor allergies. These microscopic creatures thrive in warm, humid environments and feed on organic matter like flakes of shed human skin. Their waste products and body fragments can trigger allergic reactions and asthma in sensitive individuals.

House Dust

House dust allergies are triggered by various components of dust, including dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and pollen. Symptoms can impair daily life, making it essential to minimize exposure and manage the home environment effectively.

Tyrophagus Putrescentiae

Tyrophagus putrescentiae, also known as the mold mite, is found in various stored foods and household dust. These mites thrive in high humidity and can cause allergic reactions when their waste or body parts become airborne and inhaled by individuals with sensitivities, leading to various allergic symptoms.

Allergy: Other

Bee venom

Bee venom allergy is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when an individual has an allergic reaction to bee stings. This type of allergy triggers the immune system to overreact to the proteins found in bee venom, leading to symptoms that can range from mild local swelling to severe systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Understanding and recognizing the signs of a bee venom allergy is key to managing and treating this condition effectively.

CCD (Cross-reactive Carbohydrate Determinants)

Understanding the role of Cross-reactive Carbohydrate Determinants (CCDs) in allergy testing is crucial for accurately diagnosing allergies. CCDs are complex sugar structures found on the surface of plant and animal proteins that can lead to false-positive results in allergy tests.

Cockroach

Cockroach allergy occurs when an individual's immune system reacts to proteins in cockroaches' feces, saliva, and body parts. It is a common cause of indoor allergies and can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms, especially in urban areas and in homes with infestations.

Latex

Latex allergy arises from an adverse immune response to natural rubber latex, a material derived from the sap of the rubber tree. Used in numerous products, from medical devices to everyday items, latex can trigger reactions ranging from skin irritation to severe anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals.

Total IgE

Total IgE testing plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process for allergies. This test measures the overall levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood, which are produced as a response to allergens. Elevated Total IgE levels can suggest a heightened allergic sensitivity, although they do not pinpoint specific allergens.

Wasp venom

Wasp venom allergy is a serious condition that arises when an individual reacts allergically to the sting of a wasp. This allergy can cause symptoms ranging from localized pain and swelling to severe anaphylactic shock. Unlike bee stings, wasp stings can be particularly aggressive because wasps can sting multiple times, increasing the risk of a severe allergic reaction.
