Animal allergies are widespread and can prove to be fatal for those already suffering from asthma or other allergies. Any animal, especially those having fur, can trigger these allergic reactions in human beings; however, interaction with cats and dogs is still the leading cause of animal allergies. Cattle are another prominent source of allergens in many countries, and asthma caused by cow allergens is a prevalent occupational problem.

Individuals who suffer from animal allergies experience allergic reactions upon exposure to tiny flakes of dead skin cells called dander, which are found in animals’ fur, hair or feathers.

Below are some of the cow dander allergy symptoms:

  • Allergic rhinitis: Asthma and occupationally-related allergic rhinitis are much more common at and around livestock farms due to the presence of airborne and settled dust allergens.
  • Asthma: Up to 90% of people with occupational asthma (OA) and occupational rhinitis (OR) have nasal symptoms, indicating that OA is about to develop. Asthma brought on by cow allergies is a substantial work concern in several nations.

When cell-bound IgE antibodies engage with an allergen (cow dander in this case), clinical manifestations arise, causing acute hypersensitivity (allergies).

It is brought on by the secretion of pro-inflammatory agents (histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) by effector cells that are sensitized by immunoglobulin E (IgE) mast cells and basophils.

IgE antibodies can be detected in serum in vitro, which hints at the immune reaction to potential allergens linked to allergy illness. The allergens used for testing frequently rely on the patient's age, past exposure to the allergen, time of the year, and medical manifestations.

Furthermore, the sequence of sensitization and clinical manifestations in people predisposed to allergic disease(s) is as follows:

  • Respiratory disease (rhinitis and asthma) in older children and adults due to responsiveness to inhalant allergens, 
  • Followed by eczema and respiratory illness (rhinitis and bronchospasm) in babies and kids under the age of five caused by food sensitivity (milk, egg, soy, and wheat proteins)

Therefore, an IgE antibody allergy test using a blood sample is used to determine if you are allergic to cow dander. The Skin Prick method, sometimes referred to as a Puncture or Scratch test, is used in conventional allergy tests to inject common triggers into your skin using a needle prick to ascertain whether an allergic reaction will develop.

To identify whether a chemical is an allergen without the discomfort of conventional skin prick testing, Apollo 24|7 offers a more straightforward, nearly painless blood test.

  • No uncomfortable skin pricks
  • No fasting is required.
  • Accurate Outcomes within 2 to 3 days

This quick blood test uses your blood sample to test for allergy reactions externally rather than putting suspected allergens into your system and triggering painful reactions.
 

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long do allergies to pet dander last?

Symptoms of allergy to pet dander will last as long as there is dander in your surroundings. Allergens can stick to walls, fabric furniture, carpets,  clothing and other surfaces. They may remain at high levels for several months. You can install and use a HEPA air purifier in your home to clear the dander.

How can a dander allergy be managed?

Suggestions for prevention include: Cleaning up the dander Use an air filter that can capture allergens Speaking with a qualified and experienced doctor to manage the symptoms with medications

When should you call a doctor?

If an individual experiences allergy concerns that do not go away even after altering their lifestyle patterns, they should seek medical advice. Your healthcare expert may enquire about symptoms, disease history and onset pattern, and whether anything makes them better or worse. People with asthma who struggle to control their symptoms should also see a doctor immediately.

How can I stop getting dander allergies?

The best possible way to avoid getting allergies is to minimize the exposure to cattle. Deployment of a milking robot is a suitable technique to limit allergen exposure for producers who are intolerant to cow dander.

How is this allergy test performed?

The allergenic of concern reacts with specific IgE from the person's blood. To create a compound, the enzyme-labeled anti-IgE antibody is added after removing non specific IgE. Unbound anti-IgE is removed following incubation and the bonded complex is subsequently incubated with a development agent. The fluorescence is evaluated after the reaction is stopped. An intense fluorescence (fluorescence of higher value) may indicate presence of a higher amount of IgE antibody in the patient.

How should I get ready for the Test?

Allergy Cow Dander Test doesn't require any additional preparation. However, it is advised to keep your healthcare practitioner well informed in case of the below: If you take any medications. Have any existing medical issues. If you have any allergies. Your doctor will provide particular instructions based on your condition.
