Respiratory Symptoms
Patients with a Macrocheles muscaedomesticae allergy can experience respiratory symptoms. These may include sneezing, coughing, wheezing, breathlessness, and a tight feeling in the chest. These symptoms can be extremely distressing and are caused by the body's immune response to the allergen.
Skin Rashes and Hives
Skin manifestations are common in these kinds of allergies. Patients may develop rashes, itching, hives (urticaria), and eczema. These skin reactions can occur anywhere on the body, not just where skin contact with the mite occurs.
Nasal Symptoms
One may experience nasal symptoms such as a runny or congested nose, which could lead to sinus pressure and facial discomfort. These symptoms can often be mistaken for a common cold but persist longer in the case of allergy.
Eye Irritation
Eye symptoms are another telltale sign of an allergy to Macrocheles muscaedomesticae. They can cause red, watery, itchy eyes which may also become swollen. Blurred vision can occur if the allergen gets into the eye.
Gastrointestinal Distress
In some more severe cases, individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues. These can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal cramping, which is a result of the body trying to expel the allergen.
Severe Allergic Reaction (Anaphylaxis)
In rare cases, individuals may experience a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. It is a medical emergency and can be characterized by difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, rapid heartbeat, and loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is necessary if these symptoms are experienced.
