Lenscale
Lenscale refers to microscopic particles of shed skin, hair, or feathers from animals, mainly pets like cats and dogs. These particles can become airborne, settle on furniture, bedding, or carpets, and trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Unlike larger clumps of fur, lenscale is extremely light and often invisible to the naked eye, making it a persistent allergen indoors even in clean environments. Allergic reactions to lenscale are caused by specific proteins found in the skin secretions or saliva of animals, which stick to these fine particles. Even without direct contact with animals, people can experience symptoms if they are exposed to contaminated environments.
Description
Lenscale consists of tiny skin flakes, hair fragments, or feather dust that contain allergenic proteins, especially from pets like cats and dogs.
It can cause respiratory symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, or even asthma in sensitive individuals.
Yes, it's possible. Lenscale refers to microscopic skin flakes, hair, or feathers that carry specific allergenic proteins. If a test doesn’t include the exact allergen you’re sensitive to—such as Can f 5 from dogs or Fel d 4 from cats—you might still experience symptoms despite receiving a negative result. In such cases, more detailed component testing may be necessary.
