One of the common symptoms of a kinkajou allergy is experiencing itchiness or redness in the eyes. This happens when the body responds to the allergen and causes inflammation and irritation in the eye area.
Another symptom is the development of skin conditions such as rashes or hives. These are raised, itchy bumps that can appear anywhere on the body. They occur as a direct reaction to contact with the allergen.
Constant sneezing and a perpetually runny nose can also indicate a kinkajou allergy. The body produces a lot more mucus as a way to get rid of the allergen, which can result in these symptoms.
Coughing and wheezing are also common symptoms. As the airways may become inflamed or irritated due to the allergen, you may experience discomfort in the chest area that leads to these symptoms.
Shortness of breath is another symptom that is quite common in those who are allergic to kinkajous. Inflammation or narrowing of airways due to the allergic reaction can lead to difficulty in breathing.
In severe cases of kinkajou allergy, anaphylaxis can occur. This is a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical treatment. Symptoms include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, severe breathing difficulties, and loss of consciousness.
Recognize your symptoms?
If you've been interacting with a Kinkajous, knowing whether you're allergic to this adorable creature involves understanding the common symptoms correlating with the allergy. Here is a guide for identifying the possible signs of Kinkajous allergy:
Identify Kinkajous Allergy Symptoms
Take an Allergy Test

One of the simplest ways to avoid Kinkajous allergy is to avoid direct contact with these animals. This includes not only avoiding touching them, but also avoiding their urine, feces, and saliva. These are common sources of allergens.
Allergy symptoms can be triggered by the dander, fur, or saliva left behind by Kinkajous. Regularly clean surfaces, carpets, and upholstery that could hold these allergens. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, as this can help remove allergens from your environment.
Protect yourself by using allergen-proof covers on mattresses, pillows and box springs to help keep allergens away. These covers, often made of tightly-woven fabric, can prevent allergens from infiltrating your sleeping area.
If you can't avoid contact with Kinkajous, consider talking to your allergist about starting an antihistamine regimen before exposure. Regular use of these medications can help to mitigate allergic reactions. Additionally, nasal sprays and eye drops can help manage localized symptoms.
