As the title says really .............. I've got a nasty feeling that I may have become allergic to rabbit hair. For months now I've been getting a horrid rash around my eyes and I've spent ages trying to work out what was causing it (it makes me look like I've been bawling my eyes out for hours - the skin goes all red and inflamed about an inch all round my eyes :shock. The rash had been bad during the week and by saturday had finally started to clear. By Sunday it had pretty much totally gone. Sunday afternoon I did a deep clean of the bunny accommodation and within a couple of hours my eyes were itching again.
It's finally occurred to me that the rash seems to have coincided with the bunny moult - which has been going on since about April (4 bunnies all at various stages of moult). I spot clean them all during the week and then do a thorough sweep out on a Sunday. Of course, the thorough sweep out will release all sorts of dander and hair that the spot clean of litter trays etc won't.
Now I maybe wrong - it may simply be eczema but the timing of the rash does seem to coincide with bunny moult. Does anyone else suffer this and what do you do about it? I think I may have to clean them out wearing goggles :lol::lol::lol:. Roll on winter when it's dark and the neighbours can't see me.
