It was further observed that a desensitieat,ion of a certain area of’ the skin through repeated injections of a given animal hair allergen often gave rise to a desensitization of the area to other animal hair a Ilc~pens. Experiment,s with animal hair allergen were carried out. to discover whether this desensitization might be attribnt,ed to a common 111 18 cases of animal hair allergy, desensitifactor in t,hese allergens. zation to a givwi animal allergen 7vas acconiplisl~rd on 31 separate areas of skin.
