1) You have been told that you are allergic
to animals, but you are not aware of any symptoms when you are around your pet
- Your pet may not be producing a lot of protein and
therefore is not causing symptoms
- Your pet may be producing a lot of protein and you should strictly follow your doctor's recommendations
of environmental control.
2) You or a family member has new allergy
symptoms and you wonder if the pet is contributing.
3)
You have a new pet and you wonder what the risk of developing symptoms is.
4) You are trying to choose between two animals, and you will adopt the one that is less likely to trigger symptoms
because it produces less protein.
5) You always thought
you had a low-allergy breed, but a family member is having symptoms. You want to know for sure how much protein your pet is
producing.
6) A pet you have had for a long time seems
to be causing more symptoms. Maybe your pet has started to produce more protein, and it would be wise to take more precautions
for awhile.
7) A family member is coming to visit and
they are allergic to pets. You want to know how likely it is that the pet will trigger symptoms.
HAVE YOUR DUST TESTED IF:
1) You have been following your Doctor's suggestions, and yet
your child or someone in your family still has symptoms.
2) You have moved into a new home and you wonder if there had ever been an animal present.
3) You are an employer, and you want to be sure the work place is as free as pet proteins as
possible.
