Veterinarian in Lakewood shares recent understandings of pet allergies
Posted by Dr. Jose Arambulo
Are pet allergies and asthma on the rise?
Allergic reaction to animals was identified a century ago. Current studies indicate that allergies have increased in frequency by about 20 percent. Incidence of asthma has tripled, and food allergies have doubled.Why?
- Awareness – modern medical science has given a household name (and often a treatment plan) to many symptoms largely ignored in the past.
- We now understand that second-hand exposure is an element of pet allergies. This includes allergen concentrations in public places (such as schools or offices), carried by the clothing of individuals who live with pets.
- Living spaces have changed. During the residential building boom following World War II, little attention was given to energy-efficient measures, and few homes had air conditioning. Today, many climate-controlled homes are virtually sealed, preventing inside allergens from dissipating.
