Today, human beings are passing through a period in which animals became an everyday thing on almost everyone’s life to the point that six out of ten families in Colombia own a pet where Bogotá, Medellín and Cali are the cities with more prevalence (Benavides, 2019). If you pretend to have a healthy relationship with them it is important to understand the benefits and disadvantages, they can bring.
Therefore, this paper investigates the generalities of the relationship between having pets at a young age and allergic sensitisation, which can be understood as the disproportionate reaction of an organism to an increase sensitivity to a certain antigen ( INSTITUTO DE INMUNOLOGÍA Y ALERGIA S.A.U., (s.f)).
