Respiratory symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and a tight feeling in the chest. These symptoms could be due to inflammation in the airways caused by a reaction to an allergen present in elks.
Elks allergy can also cause skin reactions, such as hives, rashes, itching, and redness. These reactions are typically triggered by physical contact with the allergen.
One common symptom of an elks allergy is eye irritation - this can manifest as redness, itching, watering, or swelling around the eyes. This generally occurs when the allergen comes into contact with the eyes.
If the body's allergic reaction is more severe, it can potentially cause swelling in the face, tongue, or lips. This can be a sign of a serious allergic reaction and require immediate medical attention.
Elks allergy can sometimes cause gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. This can occur when the allergen is ingested and triggers an immune response.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly. Symptoms include a sharp drop in blood pressure, rapid pulse, dizziness, lightheadedness, or loss of consciousness. This requires immediate medical attention.

Keep a safe distance from elks if you are aware of your allergy. This could mean avoiding places where elks are known to inhabit or visit. If you work in a place with elks around, take preventive measures such as wearing protective clothing and masks to reduce exposure to allergens.
Take your prescribed medications consistently if you have a known allergy. Antihistamines can help in reducing allergy symptoms while corticosteroids may be prescribed in case of severe reactions. Make sure you always have these at hand while in an environment prone to elks.
If you are likely to encounter elks in your daily routine, consider allergy immunotherapy, commonly known as allergy shots. These are regular injections over a period of time designed to gradually increase your tolerance to elk allergens. Consult your doctor to determine if this treatment would be suitable for you.
Regular cleaning and hygiene practices can reduce the presence of allergic pollutants. Wash your clothes and body thoroughly after being in contact or proximity with elks. Clean and vacuum any places in your home where allergens could collect, including carpets, upholstery, and bedding.
