This is one of the immediate and most common reactions to a raccoon allergy. You may experience intense itching and general skin redness around the area where you've had contact with the raccoon or its fur.
Swelling in the area of exposure or around your eyes, lips, and throat may occur. This can cause difficulty breathing in severe cases and requires immediate medical attention.
An allergic reaction to a raccoon can cause your immune system to activate, leading to the release of histamine. This can result in symptoms similar to a common cold, such as sneezing and a runny or stuffy nose.
In more severe cases, you might experience wheezing or have difficulty breathing due to the allergic reaction. This is a serious symptom that demands prompt medical attention.
Skin contact with allergens from a raccoon can cause an allergic skin reaction. Rashes or hives may form on the skin, which are itchy and can be painful.
If the allergen gets in contact with your eyes, this can cause them to become watery and itchy, and may even result in a condition called allergic conjunctivitis.

Whenever possible, it is best to avoid direct contact with raccoons. If you have raccoons in your area, discourage them from coming into your yard or house by securing your trash cans, avoiding feeding them, and making sure there are no gaps or holes in your walls or roof where they could get in.
If you are experiencing allergic reactions to raccoons, consider taking over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications. Antihistamines can help reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, and congestion, while nasal corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
Keeping your home and yard clean can help cut down on allergens from raccoons. Be sure to frequently clean areas where raccoons may have been, like your attic or porch, and consider using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to help remove allergens from the air.
If raccoons have taken up residence in your home or yard, it might be best to call in professionals to remove them. A professional wildlife removal service will have the equipment and expertise to safely and humanely remove the raccoons, and they can also help secure your home against future invasions.
