A common sign of reindeer allergy can be a runny or stuffy nose and frequent sneezing. This is the body's way of trying to get rid of an irritant, in this case, reindeer allergens.
Another symptom that comes with reindeer allergy is having itchy, red or watery eyes. This is caused by the irritation from allergens, your body's reaction to them, and the subsequent inflammation caused by your immune system.
Exposure to reindeer might lead to skin irritation in the form of rashes or hives. This is because of the allergens causing an inflammatory response in your skin.
Reindeer allergy might cause difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath. Allergens can stimulate an overdrive response in the immune system, causing inflammation in the airways and resultant difficulty in breathing.
Coughing is another common symptom of reindeer allergy. The allergens can irritate the airways leading to a cough reflex which is the body trying to expel the irritants.
Wheezing, a whistling sound when you breathe, is often associated with a reindeer allergy due to inflamed and constricted airways. It is serious and requires immediate attention.

Am I eligible?
As with most pet allergies, reindeer allergens are present in their dander, saliva, and urine. Avoiding direct physical contact with the reindeer can significantly reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. This includes not petting them, avoiding exposure to the urine, and not messing with the reindeer dander, which might be present in their habitat.
If you can't avoid contact completely, try to limit your exposure as much as possible. This might involve limiting the time spent around reindeer, and particularly avoiding closed spaces where allergens can accumulate. It could be sensible to leave the area if you start to feel any symptoms of allergy, such as sneezing, itching, or difficulty breathing.
When it's necessary to be in contact with reindeer, wearing proper protective clothing can help prevent the allergens from coming into contact with your skin and being inhaled. This can include wearing gloves, a face mask and possibly eye protection. Remember to wash these garments separately afterwards to avoid spreading the allergens.
If you've been diagnosed with an allergy to reindeer, it's wise to always carry antihistamines with you in case of exposure. In especially sensitive individuals, it might also be necessary to use a preventatively administered medicine, such as a corticosteroid nasal spray. Always consult your doctor or a pharmacist before starting a new medication for your allergy.
