The role of diet in managing horse allergies is not explicitly addressed in the provided search results. However, the search results do discuss allergies and hypersensitivity in general.
Allergies, also known as hypersensitivities, are inappropriate immune responses to harmless substances. Allergic reactions typically don’t cause symptoms upon first exposure to an antigen. With initial exposure, reactive lymphocytes are generated that take action only when the individual is re-exposed to the antigen.
What are Allergens?
Allergens are innocuous antigens that stimulate IgE antibody production, especially when repeatedly absorbed in small amounts through mucosal surfaces. Common allergens include pollen, fungal spores, animal dander, plant seeds, house dust (specifically excreta of mites), and certain foods like chocolate, egg whites, oranges, and cow’s milk.
