Cat Allergy Test

Cat Allergy Test and health information

Cat allergy testing is the best approach to determining what's wrong if you have recurrent rhinitis symptoms and suspect your pet is to blame. 

When the body reacts to a foreign substance, it is called an allergic response. The immune system attacks the chemical, which defends the body from germs and poisons. An allergic response occurs when the immune system overreacts to an innocuous chemical. 

An allergic response to cats can arise when a person comes into touch with a cat or breaths in cat dander (dead flakes of animal skin). Dander from cats may be found in clothing, air, and furniture, and bedding.

With cat allergy testing, you can know for certain if your reactions are from cats or something else. Here is everything you need to know about cat allergies and the tests used to diagnose and monitor them. 

What Is a Cat Allergy?

An allergic reaction happens when the body responds to a foreign substance. The immune system, which protects the body from bacteria and toxins, attacks the substance. When the immune system overreacts to a harmless substance, this is an allergic reaction.

Allergic reactions to cats occur when someone comes in contact with a cat or breathes in cat dander, which is dead flakes of animal skin. Cat dander can be everywhere; carried in clothes, in the air, or settled on furniture and bedding.
