Abstract
Desde hace muchos años es bien conocido que la exposición diaria a animales domésticos o mascotas, sobretodo en el medio urbano, puede conllevar a que las personas se sensibilicen a sus alérgenos y, posteriormente, puedan desarrollar síntomas alérgicos, en caso de no tomar las medidas preventivas adecuadas.En España, por ejemplo, alrededor del 6% de la población general está sensibilizada a animales, pero esta cifra es mayor en las personas atópicas. Según el estudio Alergológica 2005 realizado en 4.500 pacientes que acudieron a consultas de Alergología en diferentes ciudades españolas, un 26% de los asmáticos convivía con perros y un 15% con gatos; el 20% de ellos estaba sensibilizado a los animales; resultando ser la tercera causa de asma alérgica después de los pólenes y los ácaros del polvo 1.El mismo estudio, pero realizado en 1992, arrojaba una cifra de 15% en la prevalencia de los casos de asma originados por exposición a animales; por lo que comparando ambos estudios hechos con 13 años de diferencia, se ha comprobado un aumento significativo de este problema en poco más de una década 2...

In recent years a large number of Spanish homes has opted to have exotic pets within households and the number has been increased significantly, this as well, because most of them occupy less space within households and are for convenience in handling, in addition to the snobbery that involves for example, have a tarantula, a chinchilla or any rodent inside the house...
