Pet allergens follow aeroallergens as a common cause of asthma and rhinitis in children (1,2). Specifically, cat and dog dander are typical triggers of these symptoms(1). However, high percent of patients with severe asthma can be sensitized to other mammals, such as horses and mice(3). This is not limited to occupational or rural areas where exposure to this animal is more prevalent. A high rate of sensitization to horses in people with no known direct exposure who live in urban areas is well documented(4). This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
