没有无过敏原或“低过敏性”的猫

没有无过敏原或低过敏性的猫

人们普遍认为,某些品种的猫—特别是无毛品种—为“低过敏性”。

虽然“低过敏性”从理论上讲是指更低的过敏性,但许多人使用它来表示“无过敏原”。

包括育种会网站在内的众多来源表明,这些“低过敏性”猫将消除敏感个人的过敏反应。但是,没有真正无过敏原的猫。1-4 虽然有些猫的毛发可能掉得少一些,但真正引起过敏反应的不是毛发。相反,猫过敏者会对主要产生于唾液腺和皮脂腺(皮肤)的过敏原产生反应。1,2

事实

没有真正的“低过敏性”或无过敏原的猫。


  • 虽然过敏原的产生在各种猫中有很大差异,并且在一只猫中可能全年都有变化,但所有猫都产生 Fel d 1(主要的猫过敏原),不分种类。1-7
  • 由于 Fel d 1 是在猫的唾液腺和皮脂腺(皮肤)中产生的,即使是无毛猫(如 Cornish Rex 和 Sphinx)也仍然会产生过敏原。1-7
  • 所有的猫都会自我梳理并产生皮屑,然后将其(与过敏原一起)传播到环境中。1-8
