Some people are allergic to animals. What is it really?
What is a cat allergy
Allergy to cats manifests itself differently in each person, but there are some patterns.
As a rule, an allergic reaction is accompanied by irritation of the mucous membranes, breathing problems and skin reactions.
For example, people often report redness, rash, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion.
Causes of allergies to cats
Allergies to cats are caused by an oversensitive human immune system.
People are more likely to be allergic to cats than to dogs.
The hypersensitive immune system of a person with allergies reacts to proteins from cat saliva, skin flakes, and fur.
The fact is that the body mistakes skin particles for dangerous substances, such as a virus or bacteria, and attacks them.
Therefore, signs of allergies are side effects of the body on allergens.
