Can Goose Allergy Be Acquired Genetically
Can goose allergy be acquired genetically?
Just like an individual’s physical characteristics, goose allergy has a potential to be acquired genetically. That is why on diagnosing goose allergy, the physician takes into account the medical history of his/her family to trace any symptoms of goose allergy that has been experienced by other family members, especially the parents of the patient.
However, although an individual may be born with genetic capability of becoming allergic in goose, it does not necessarily mean that he/she is automatically allergic to other types of allergens.

Is there a vaccine for Goose Allergy?
There is an available vaccine used to stimulate the body’s immune response against goose allergy. It prevents and controls the symptoms or other probable infections that may result from such allergy. This vaccine is given through series of allergy shots to desensitize your body from specific allergens that causes goose allergy. It is also known as immunotherapy.
Just like any other type of vaccines, allergy shots are also given in schedule. Typically, an injection is given once or twice a week for about three to six months duration. In this period, the allergen dose is gradually increased with each injection. This helps the body tolerate such allergens and at the same time reducing the effects of symptoms of allergy.
