Allergies
Respiratory and skin allergies occur in horses during the usual spring period but also at other times and for no specific reason. Allergy symptoms, which depend on the substance involved, can affect the airways, sinuses and nasal passages, skin, and digestive system. Reactions can range from mild to severe – from runny eye and nose with watery fluid, to head flicking and particularly irritating skin rashes. An allergen is typically defined as a usually harmless substance capable of triggering a response that starts in the immune system and results in an allergic reaction.
Causes
An allergy starts when the immune system mistakes a normally harmless substance for a dangerous invader. The immune system then produces antibodies that remain on the alert for that particular allergen. When you’re exposed to the allergen again, these antibodies can release a number of immune system chemicals, such as histamine, that cause allergy symptoms. The underlying mechanism involves immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE), part of the body’s immune system, binding to an allergen and then to a receptor on mast cells or basophils where it triggers the release of inflammatory chemicals such as histamine – called mast cell degranulation.
