Avoid handling the triggering allergens (exposure prophylaxis).

Measures to be taken in case of allergy to animal dander
Avoidance of animals (exposure prophylaxis).
Avoidance of fur and clothing and furnishings made from animal hair; clothing, carpets, and items made from animal hair may also contain animal allergens:
Camel hair coats
Horsehair mattress
Sheepskin
Animal fur rugs
In the case of animal hair allergies, despite not having a pet, it is often not possible to completely avoid exposure to allergens.
Conventional non-surgical therapy methods
Hyposensitization or desensitization (synonyms: specific immunotherapy (SIT), allergy vaccination): It is particularly suitable for children and young adults, as the effectiveness is best here. The therapy is indicated (indicated) for severe allergy that cannot be controlled with allergen abstinence or pharmacotherapy (e.g., antihistamines).
Allergen immunotherapy (AIT): SLIT (= sublingual immunotherapy) for allergy to cat epithelia – statistically significant improvements in symptoms in a few studies.
Nutritional medicine
Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet taking into account the disease at hand. This means, among other things:
A total of 5 servings of fresh vegetables and fruit daily (≥ 400 g; 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit).
Once or twice a week fresh sea fish, i.e. fatty marine fish (omega-3 fatty acids) such as salmon, herring, mackerel.
