That annoying Canary allergy

That annoying Canary allergy

Melissa was very excited because she was going to the zoo that Tuesday afternoon. She loves animals very much, especially birds.

She never gets tired of looking, talking and playing around with her favorite bird in this zoo - the canary. Canary is a small finch or type of tiny bird native to the Canary Islands.

Canary birds are yellow to greenish in color and have long been bred as cage birds by people and bird collectors around the world.

Back to Melissa, happiness with Canary birds can't be for her, because after an hour a strong feeling of discomfort began to ruin her mood. She started coughing and itching until she couldn't stand it anymore.

Later, the doctor who looked after her concluded that she had a canary allergy.

What is a Canary Islands Allergy?

Canary Island allergy is no different from your usual bird allergy. It is caused by your body's immune system's retaliation or defensive response to bird or canary allergens that pass through the system through feather dust or dander and through feces or feces.

Since Canary Islands are caged birds that have not been able to fly freely, you should expect their feathers to be very heavily laden with these irritating dusts that can cause allergic reactions.

Exposure to Canarian bird dust and allergens produces allergy symptoms in birds within minutes, hours or, in very rare cases, days, making diagnosis difficult unless the patient volunteers the information.

Canary allergy symptoms

Like bird allergy, canary allergy is characterized by simple allergic reactions or symptoms such as postnasal drip, stuffy nose, hives, cough, itchy eyes, sneezing, watery or watery eyes, and sore throat.

Canary bird allergies may not be that fatal, but the onset of their symptoms will certainly cause great discomfort to the patient. Failure to treat or treat severe attacks or symptoms can also lead to serious complications that can be fatal or fatal if left untreated or unattended.

In very sensitive people, Canarian allergy is also accompanied by fever and chills.

Treatment of Canary Islands allergy

Canary allergy is a chronic attack that can stop on its own even if you don't take medication. Most of the time, the simple treatment recommended to people with canary allergy symptoms is to keep that person further or further away from canary birds.

It is a practical treatment because constant and continuous exposure to the bird causing the allergy safely prevents the onset of the allergic reaction.

Doctors also prescribe small doses of antihistamines (medications used to treat simple allergies), decongestants (medications that clear breathing areas or treat swollen nasal areas), and corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medications).

Avoid Canary Islands allergy

Hygiene is of course the most basic and effective measure to counteract possible Canary allergy attacks. Always wash your hands, even when you are not eating. Clean the area and make sure there are no canary bird feathers or droppings, especially if you have these birds at home.

If you are allergic to Canary Islands birds, as well as if you have allergies to other substances, make sure your room is always well ventilated by opening windows or turning on air conditioners to an optimal temperature.

If you have Canary birds at home and there is no way you can dispose of them, there are measures that can help you avoid the occurrence of Canary allergy. First, make sure the canary’s cage is clean and tidy.

Do not overcrowd the cage, otherwise the canaries will often fight and play around and spread their feathers.

Make sure that the area in the house where the canary bird's cage is located is properly ventilated. Purchase an air purification system to ensure that the air you breathe in your home is free of allergens that can trigger another canary allergy attack.
