My bad. Allergies to the hair. Cleaning deer gets me sneezing and red itchy eyes quick.

I have the same issue. I just make sure i don’t touch my face and go take a shower after I’m done putting away the meat. That has helped a lot. I imagine wearing rubber gloves and disposing afterward would help too, but never felt the need to go that far.

It could absolutely be an allergy to mites that live on the deer, and not the deer hair itself. Mites are strong environmental allergens. Now, doesn't change what the treatment or prevention might be, which is to avoid exposure or take an antihistamine BEFORE exposure.
