What are the Causes of Pet Allergy?

The primary function of the immune system is to search and eliminate the foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria. This reaction typically helps our body to protect against the dangerous diseases. People with pet allergies have a hypersensitive immune system. Sensitive immune system may react to harmless proteins found in the urine and saliva or skin eruption of pets. The symptoms resulting from this reaction are referred to as allergic reaction and the substances causing allergic reactions are referred to as allergens. Pet allergens can accumulate on surfaces, particularly furniture, and sustain their presence for a long time. The amount of allergens in living spaces and on surfaces may sustain its high presence for several months. Pet allergens can also mix with the ambient air they adsorb. This condition may occur during removal of dust, sweeping or other domestic processes. Allergen particles spreading may be airborne for a long-time.
