Allergic reactions to guinea pigs can include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, and skin irritation such as hives or eczema. Symptoms may occur immediately after contact or develop over time with repeated exposure.
This blood test is one part of a broader allergy evaluation. Results should be interpreted alongside your medical history and other findings by a qualified healthcare professional.
