Many people have allergies to anything. Some react negatively to the sun or frost, others cause unpleasant symptoms of flowering plants.
An allergic reaction to rabbits is a common problem, the causes and symptoms of which will be discussed in the article.
It also mentions the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Allergies in adults and children
The problem can occur in both adults and children. In this case, the children's body reacts more strongly, which causes more unpleasant symptoms. 
The chance of occurrence increases with the presence of diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. An allergic reaction can occur both immediately after birth and during life.
Did you know? Allergies are less common in third world countries, and more often in developed countries. This is due to the fact that excessive hygiene causes insufficient development of immunity, because of which the immune system begins to react to completely harmless stimuli.
The problem is that if an adult can limit contact with feces or wool while breeding and keeping rabbits, saving himself from the lion's share of unpleasant symptoms, then in the case of children this approach will not bring the desired effect.
If the child cannot play with his pet, his content does not make sense. For this reason, a pet is better to give away or sell.
Most of the drugs that are attributed to allergies, are symptomatic, that is, they are not able to make it so that the ailment disappears altogether, but only relieve the symptoms.
The reasons
An unpleasant reaction is caused by protein, which is secreted by the pores, is removed along with urine and feces, and also found in dietary meat. And if the use of products can be waived, then it is almost impossible to protect against the smallest particles of the allergen that spread through the air. 
Regardless of how the allergen enters the body, it causes identical symptoms that are difficult to cope with.
Allergies to ordinary and decorative animals
Since allergy is caused not only by meat, but also by wool, excrement, and even animal saliva, there is no difference between meat and ornamental species.
The meat breeds of rabbits include such as flandr, white giant, ram, and the decorative breeds include Angora, colored short-haired dwarf rabbits, fox dwarf rabbits.
If you or your child have a negative reaction to rabbits, then symptoms arise after contact with any eared pet.
Allergies should not be considered separately specifically for rabbits as a whole, but for animal hair. In this case, the important role played by the length of the "coat". Decorative long-haired rabbits in most cases will cause a negative reaction, so it is better to refuse such a purchase, or choose animals with short hair.
Important! Cross-allergy can develop when the body reacts to both protein and wool, resulting in a life-threatening condition.
Symptoms
Symptomatology in children and adults is almost identical, but the dangerous condition often occurs in babies. 
Signs of an allergic reaction:
- colorless copious nasal discharge;
- nasal congestion;
- dry cough;
- eye redness and lacrimation;
- suffocation;
- conjunctivitis;
- rash;
- pain in the stomach;
- vomiting.
Diagnostics
The diagnosis should be made exclusively by the doctor, since such symptoms occur in almost any allergy.
Initially, a general examination is conducted to exclude colds or viral diseases. Next is assigned to the analysis of immunoglobulin F213. The increased content of this substance in the blood indicates the presence of allergies to the fur and meat of the animal.
Important! Immunoglobulin F213 is elevated only in the event of an allergic reaction to rabbit protein. If you are allergic to wool only, the amount of this substance will be normal.
Treatment
For the treatment of allergic reactions are used as drugs that block certain receptors, and those that remove allergens from the body and improve the functioning of the immune system. 
Antihistamines
Drugs that can eliminate the symptoms of allergies:
- "Loratadine".
- "Erius".
- "Claritin".
Enterosorbents
Means with properties to absorb substances harmful to the body:
- Activated carbon in powder form.
- "Polyphepan".
- "Enterosgel".
Immunopreparations
Means, the action of which should maintain the protective forces (immunity) of the body:
- "Anaferon".
- "Imunal".
- Extract of Eleutherococcus.
- "Bacteriophage".
Did you know? The eyes of the rabbits are set so that they can see what is happening behind them. Thus, they see almost 360 ° around themselves.
Allergies to rabbits are not treated, so all medicines are used solely to relieve symptoms. Prevention as such is to remove the allergen, as well as to stimulate the immune system.
Remember that it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis at home, so after the appearance of characteristic symptoms, immediately visit a doctor.
