About Rat Allergy Test | Allergic to Rats? in Algonquin

Rat allergy is an immune-mediated sensitivity to proteins found in rat epithelium, urine, and saliva.

Exposure to rat allergens occurs most often through direct handling of the animals, cleaning cages, or spending time in rooms where rats are housed. The allergens are small and readily become airborne, which allows them to be inhaled and to settle on surfaces.

Symptoms of sensitization can include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing. In some people, prolonged or intense exposure may provoke asthma-like breathing difficulty or skin reactions after contact.

A specific IgE blood test detects antibodies that the immune system produces in response to rat epithelium. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and physical findings, since sensitization does not always correspond to clinical symptoms.
