One of the common symptoms of llama allergy is itchy and red eyes. These symptoms occur as a reaction to allergens present in llama fur and dander. The body responds by releasing histamines which cause itching and redness in the eyes.
Some people might experience hives and skin rashes as a reaction to llama allergy. These are typically red, itchy, fluid-filled lumps that appear on the skin and can range from small spots to large blotches.
Respiratory issues like wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath are common symptoms of llama allergy. This happens as the minute particles from the fur or dander of the llama are inhaled, causing a reaction in the respiratory tract.
A runny or stuffy nose is another common symptom. The allergens can cause an inflammation in the nasal passages leading to an overproduction of mucus, resulting in a runny or blocked nose.
Sneezing is a common symptom that occurs as a reflex to the irritation caused in the nose by allergens. In people with llama allergy, the allergens may trigger a series of sneezes.
Some people may experience swelling around the eyes, nose and mouth. This is caused by the body's immune response to the allergen, leading to inflammation and swelling in these regions.

One of the key ways to avoid llamas allergy is by refraining from close contact with them. As with any kind of pet allergy, you're likely to react less if you limit your interactions. If you must interact with llamas, try to avoid touching your face afterward until you've washed your hands thoroughly.
When you need to be around llamas, protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and pants, gloves, and use allergy masks. These can help reduce the amount of allergens you come into contact with.
Allergens can often linger in the environment even without the llama present, so clean your surroundings regularly. This includes washing any clothing and bedding the llama was in contact with, and vacuuming regularly with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to trap allergens.
If you have to be around llamas and you are allergic to them, consider taking an over-the-counter or prescription allergy medication. There are many options available, including antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays, which can help to manage your symptoms. Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to decide which option is right for you.
