A direct contact with enzymes can lead to skin reactions. These reactions can include itchy, red, or swollen skin, hives, or eczema. The skin reactions are often localized to the area where the contact with the enzyme occurred.
Respiratory symptoms are common in individuals with an enzyme allergy. Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis or asthma-like symptoms may occur.
Digestive issues can emerge in cases where enzymes are ingested. These symptoms can involve abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, and nausea or vomiting.
Nasal symptoms may include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip. These symptoms are the body's way of trying to expel the allergen from the system.
Eye irritation can occur if enzymes come into contact with the eyes. Symptoms can include redness, itching, watering, and a burning sensation.
In severe cases, an allergic reaction to enzymes can lead to anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that can cause difficulty in breathing, dizziness or fainting, a rapid or weak pulse, and a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Recognize your symptoms?
If you suspect that you have an allergy to enzymes, it's important to understand the common symptoms associated with enzyme allergies and consult with a medical professional. Here's a guideline to follow:
Recognize Common Symptoms of Enzyme Allergies
Take an Allergy Test
Consult a healthcare provider to undertake an allergy test. Allergy to enzymes can be diagnosed through a skin prick test where a small amount of suspected allergen is placed on your skin to observe any allergic reaction.
Regular Monitoring of Symptoms
Monitor your health whenever you have been exposed to enzymes. This can help to quickly identify any abnormal reaction and get medical assistance.
Consult a Healthcare Provider
If your symptoms persist, it's essential to seek medical advice. Your healthcare provider can conduct further tests or refer you to a specialist if necessary.

If you know you are allergic to certain enzymes, the easiest way to avoid an allergic reaction is to avoid direct contact with the enzyme. This might require you reading product labels carefully and avoiding certain foods, detergents, or other products that contain the enzyme.
Many companies produce hypoallergenic products that are free from common allergens. These products are less likely to cause an allergic reaction and can be safely used by most individuals. If you are allergic to certain enzymes, using hypoallergenic household goods and cosmetics can help you avoid exposure.
If your job requires you to work with enzymes, you might want to consider investing in personal protective equipment. Gloves, masks, and goggles can help protect your skin, lungs, and eyes from airborne enzymes and direct contact.
If you suspect that you have an enzyme allergy, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional. They can run tests to verify your allergy, help you understand what substances to avoid, and provide medication if necessary. It is important not to self-diagnose, as this can lead to unnecessary avoidance of certain foods or products, or even accidental exposure to the allergenic enzyme.
