Many people are allergic to animals. Most people are not allergic to the animal's fur or feathers. The allergy is more usually an immune reaction to a protein (an allergen) found in the saliva, dander (dead skin flakes) or the urine of an animal. The allergen gets carried in the air or in dust on very small, invisible particles. It then lands on the lining of the eyes (conjunctiva) and nose. It may also be inhaled directly into the lungs, causing allergic symptoms. Allergen contact with an allergic person's skin may also cause itching and hives .

Allergies and allergic reactions occur when the immune system misidentifies harmless foreign substances, called allergens, and reacts to them as if they were harmful. Specifically, allergy symptoms result when the immune system makes the IgE antibody in an effort to protect us from otherwise harmless allergens. Allergens can include things like pollens, animal dander, latex and foods.

Raw latex is mixed with a variety of different chemicals that allow the latex to polymerize, or form, into long chains that can then be manipulated to form solid objects. Some of these chemicals can also cause allergic reactions that present as mild to severe itchy, red bumps or rashes (contact dermatitis). However, these chemicals do not cause asthma, hives, or hayfever-type symptoms.
