Rabbits

What is Rabbits?

Rabbits are small, furry mammals often kept as pets or raised on farms. Known for their gentle nature, they are popular for companionship, and their fur is used in various products. Despite their appeal, rabbits can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Rabbit allergies are primarily caused by proteins found in their fur, saliva, and dander. These proteins become airborne or stick to surfaces, causing reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and respiratory symptoms when inhaled. Handling rabbits or being in close contact with them can exacerbate these symptoms.

What can I do about it?

If you’re allergic to rabbits, reduce exposure by avoiding direct contact with them or areas they frequent. Use air purifiers and vacuum regularly to limit allergens. Washing hands and changing clothes after interacting with rabbits can help reduce symptoms.
