Abstract
A significant amount of medical literature has been published on the prevalence and treatment modalities of allergies to common household pets like dogs and cats. Although sensitization rates to horses are high in many urban areas, allergies to horses are rarely discussed. In order for allergists to treat effectively horse-allergic patients, they must be aware of various clinical presentations and treatment modalities that exist. A literature search was conducted in PubMED using the terms horse, immunotherapy, inhalant allergies, and food allergy limited to human studies from any period. What follows is a review of the prevalence, clinical presentations, and treatment modalities of horse aeroallergens and food allergies.
