Yet an estimat- ed 31 million Americans are allergic to animals, including up to 30 per- cent of those who have asthma. For these peo- ple, congestion, sneez- ing, runny nose and other allergic symptoms occur whenever they are exposed to common household pets. It helps to under- stand how pets can trig- ger allergies and what steps can help protect you. Below are six com- mon misconceptions about pet allergies. By knowing the truth about these myths, you can take action to live com- fortably with the pets in your life. Myth #1: It’s only pet hair-especially cat hair-that causes allergies to flare up. Not true. Pet hair is a nuisance and causes allergies, as it contains saliva or other pet pro- teins. Allergic reactions to pets are actually caused by pet proteins contained in pet dander such as microscopic skin flakes, and also in saliva and urine. Overactive immune systems in those with allergies attack these otherwise harmless substances. Animals with more fur are more likely to carry other allergens such as pet dander and dust, according to the American Lung Association (ALA). If you have a pet, not only do you need to handle pet hair carefully, you also need to clean house- hold dust carefully, as it may contain pet dander that can trigger allergic reactions. M y t h # 2 : Continuous exposure to animals will eventually desensitize you to them. Not only is this not true, but in some cases, the opposite is true. If you have a confirmed allergy to animals, whether you are a child or adult, it usually will not get better through increasing exposure. In fact, it may get worse. That’s according to the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy. However, studies have confirmed that early childhood expo- sure to cats, dogs and other animals may lower the risk of developing allergic reactions later in life. In one study of 8,000 children, researchers found that children continuously exposed to cats from the time they were 1 year old were 67 percent less likely than others to develop allergic asthma. Myth #3: If you just get the right breed of dog/cat/etc., you won’t have allergy problems. Not true. All cat and dog breeds produce dan- der. However, some breeds are believed to be better for allergy suffer- ers than other breeds. Typically, the best breeds are those that shed the least fur and/or are the most frequently bathed. Also, smaller dogs produce less saliva than do bigger dogs. The American Kennel Club recommends breeds that produce the least dander for allergy sufferers. Those breeds include poodles, terriers, schnauzers, bichon frises and others. Myth #4: Small ani- mals are not a problem for allergies. Wrong. Hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and other warm-blooded mammals can also trig- ger asthma and allergies in people with allergies to animal dander, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Birds are also a major problem for many aller- gy sufferers, as birds release dander into the air through activities such as cleaning their feathers, flapping their wings and flying. If you are allergic to animals but still want a pet, con- sider animals without dander like a fish, turtle Vehicle & Boat Promotional advertising section 850 will continue to run your ad until sold providing you call the Siuslaw News 541-997-3441 every 4 weeks.

Myth #5: Outside the home, you shouldn’t have pet allergy prob- lems. Not necessarily. Because of their micro- scopic size and jagged shape, pet allergens easi- ly stick to clothing and other fabrics and are car- ried to other locations. Animal dander-in suffi- cient levels to cause allergies-can be found in many public places such as the workplace, class- rooms and hospitals, according to the ALA. Those with severe aller- gies may also want to avoid the homes of fam- ily and friends who have the type of pet that irri- tates their allergies. Myth #6: An air purifier will help with pet allergies. It depends on the air purifier. Only a high- performance air purifier can help. Some allergy sufferers report that small, low-quality air cleaners make little or no difference at all. However, many allergy sufferers report that their IQAir air purifier in combination with improved cleaning methods has reduced or completely eliminated their allergic reactions to pets in their homes.
