Allergy
Studies
human pet allergies (1995-2007)
Read
these first
Read the
Allergic to Dogs? and
Dog Breeds for Allergy Sufferers pages
first. They contain lots of information about human pet allergies,
tips on controlling animal dander in the house, pet allergy
discussion board, and information about "low dander" dog breeds that
generally do well with mild pet allergy sufferers. However, people's
pet allergies vary greatly, and there is no dog breed that is
truly non-allergenic!
Allergy
studies
I have collected some links to The Journal of
Allergy and Clinical Immunology online abstracts and full
text articles. The Journal of Allergy
and Clinical Immunology is the official publication of the American
Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Abstracts are free to
read online, and many of the full size articles as well. Be patient,
the journal site pages may be slow to load.
To search the magazine
for pet related articles, go to
here.
Be patient, that page may be slow.
