Allergy to Pet Rabbits:
Dietary Intolerance to Rabbit Meat:
Allergic reactions to pet rabbits are caused by proteins in the rabbit’s dander, saliva, and urine, which can become airborne. Reactions to rabbit meat are due to dietary intolerance to certain proteins found in the meat.
Consider not keeping rabbits as pets if you have confirmed allergies. If exposure is unavoidable, minimize contact, ensure good ventilation, and clean habitats regularly to reduce allergic symptoms.
Avoid consuming rabbit meat and be cautious with food labels and dishes at restaurants that may contain rabbit. Opt for alternative protein sources that don’t trigger symptoms.
