Allergies to rabbits

After bring a rabbit home, some people may find that they have increased allergy symptoms.

What am I allergic to?
Often, people who suffer from allergies with rabbits in the same household are not actually allergic to the rabbit specifically but rather the hay. There are a few different ways to cut down on hay allergies:
 * Look for second-cutting hay.
 * Mist hay with a water bottle to cut down on dust.
 * Change hays from timothy to orchard grass or oat hay which have been anecdotally much better for people with hay allergies.

If you are actually allergic to the rabbit and its hair, dander, or urine, some tips that may help you include the following:
 * Limit the rooms your rabbits can get into, especially your office or bedroom.
 * Buy an air filtration unit.
 * Vacuum rabbit-accessible areas often to decrease hair, dust, and dander.
 * AllerPet/C
 * Seek medical assistance.
