Like most pests, birds also carry a variety of diseases which can put your health at risk. The feces, feathers, and nests of pigeons, sparrows, gulls and starlings can trigger allergies like asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and rhinitis. Your family, children, pet dogs and cats can also develop mild to severe allergies depending on their immunity and length of exposure. Choosing a professional bird control service is the best way to get rid of birds. Below are a few mediums that leave you vulnerable to bird allergies:

How Do Bird Allergy Spread

• Inhaling – dried bird droppings can trigger airborne diseases when dispersed in the air you inhale
• Eating and Drinking – consuming any food product or drinking water that is contaminated with fungi, virus or bacteria spread by birds can cause allergies
• Direct Contact–Those having birds as pets are the most at risk of developing allergies
• Insect Bites– when insects bite an infected or diseased bird, they become carriers of bacterial, fungal and viral infections that are then transferred to humans through insect bites

If you have an allergy, you may experience the following symptoms:

What Are The Symptoms of Bird Allergies

• Puffy and itchy eyes
• Runny nose
• Nasal congestion
• Sneezing
• Sore throat
• Sinus pressure
• Allergic shiners
• Itchy mouth
• Stuffy nose and throat
• Prolonged coughing
• Occasional fever and chills

If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t ignore them thinking that they are temporary reactions to dust, dirt and changing weather. When left untreated, bird allergies may prove to be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.

Treatment for Bird Allergies

Your doctor will assess your previous medical records to ensure that the allergy is caused due to bird feather or fecal matter. Usually, basic symptoms of bird allergies need no serious treatment and soon disappear with discontinued exposure to bird allergens. The medications commonly prescribed for treating bird problems include corticosteroids, antihistamines, and decongestants.
