One common symptom of a Prairie Dogs allergy is having itchy, red, or watery eyes. This is a reaction caused by the body's immune system to allergens.
An individual with a Prairie Dogs allergy may also experience frequent sneezing. This is the body's way of trying to remove or flush out the allergens in the nasal passage.
Nasal congestion or a runny nose is another symptom. The nasal tissues swell with excess fluid, and this results in a blocked or stuffy nose.
Another symptom can be shortness of breath. The allergens can cause an inflammation in the airways which makes it difficult for the person to breathe normally.
Exposure to Prairie Dogs can also result in skin issues such as itching or the development of a rash. This is likely due to the direct contact with allergens
Continuous coughing can also be a symptom of Prairie Dogs allergy. The lung's response to the allergens can trigger a cough as a way of clearing the airways.

Identify Exposure to Prairie Dogs
In order to determine that Prairie Dogs are the source of your allergies, you need to identify your exposure to them. These can include their saliva, dander (dead skin flakes), urine, or feces. If you have a Prairie Dog as a pet or have had recent interaction with them, your symptoms may be because of an allergy.
Test for Allergy
If the symptoms persist, visit your healthcare provider. They can administer an allergy test to confirm whether you're allergic to Prairie Dogs. Your healthcare provider can then advise you about the proper treatment and prevention strategies based on your allergy test results.
Experiment with Isolation
Try isolating yourself from the Prairie Dog and see if your symptoms improve. This can help you confirm that the allergens causing your symptoms are coming from the Prairie Dog. Remember, it can take time for allergens to clear out of your system and for your symptoms to improve.

One of the simplest ways to avoid allergy from prairie dogs is to avoid close contact with them. If you are allergic to prairie dogs, keep your distance as much as possible. This could mean not owning a prairie dog as a pet or avoiding places where they are present.
If exposure to prairie dogs is unavoidable, consider using over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications to alleviate allergy symptoms. Antihistamines can help to reduce runny nose, sneezing, and itching, while nasal sprays can be effective for congestion.
When you need to be in an environment with prairie dogs, wearing protective clothing like gloves, long sleeves, and a mask can help to prevent direct contact with allergens. It's also advisable to wash clothing immediately after exposure.
If you are extremely allergic to prairie dogs and other steps are not enough, consider getting allergy shots. Allergy shots, or immunotherapy, can help to increase your resistance to allergens over time and reduce the severity of your allergic reactions.
