Allergens found on the fur, skin, fluids or droppings from any animal might cause allergies. Unlike what most people think, it is not the pet that triggers an allergic reaction.Inhaling the fur from a pet can be a trigger. Also, breathing in dander or dead skin from your pet results in a reaction such as sneezing. Other reactions come from dust mites found in your pet's sleeping area such as a cage or kennel. Your pet can also drop mites on carpets, mats, seats and your bed.
Chemicals found in the urine, saliva or droppings from a pet could cause allergic reactions in some people. The reaction occurs when these chemicals contaminate the air, and they are inhaled. They also trigger a reaction if they get into contact with your skin or absorbed into the body. You get these chemicals from the saliva left on the skin when a pet cleans itself. The fur can also get wet with urine.
