Despite some belief to the contrary, the Cornish Rex's short hair does not make it non- or [[Hypoallergenic|hypo-allergenic]]. Allergic reactions from cats are not the result of hair length, but from a [[glyco-protein|glycoprotein]] known as [[Fel d 1]], produced in the sebaceous glands of the skin, saliva, and urine.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sparkes |first=Andrew H. |date=January 2022 |title=Human allergy to cats: A review for veterinarians on prevalence, causes, symptoms and control |journal=Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery |volume=24 |issue=1 |pages=31–42 |doi=10.1177/1098612X211036793 |issn=1532-2750 |pmc=8721530 |pmid=34622710}}</ref> Most people who have cat allergies are reacting to this protein in cat saliva and cat [[dander]]: when the cat cleans its fur, the saliva dries and is transformed into dust that people breathe in.
