| This suggests that immediate bronchial response to cat allergen is localized in the large airways. |
| Lesion onset usually occurs in a pattern related to the skin irritant or allergen initiating the reaction. |
| The specificity for food allergen tests is generally low, partly because of cross reactions between some food groups. |
| Allergen avoidance measures included breast feeding with mothers on a low allergen diet, use of acaricides, and mattress covers. |
