Abstract

Occupational exposure to animal dander is a well-recognised cause of IgE-mediated respiratory and cutaneous allergies, particularly among farmers, veterinarians and laboratory workers. However, allergy to cervid dander remains rarely documented, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. We present the case of a wildlife professional who developed occupational contact urticaria, rhinoconjunctivitis, and asthma following exposure to deer.
