Which of the following is a symptom of nasal mites?

Sneezing
Excessive drooling
Abdominal pain
Rapid heart rate

The correct answer is: Sneezing

Sneezing is a common symptom of nasal mites, particularly in animals such as dogs and cats. Nasal mites, which are microscopic parasites residing in the nasal passages, can cause irritation and inflammation. This irritation can lead to sneezing as the animal attempts to clear their nasal passages. In addition to sneezing, other signs might include nasal discharge or itching, but sneezing is one of the most notable behaviors exhibited by animals affected by nasal mites. The other options—excessive drooling, abdominal pain, and rapid heart rate—do not typically relate to nasal mite infestations. Excessive drooling is more often associated with oral or gastrointestinal issues, while abdominal pain can indicate various other health problems unrelated to nasal mites. Rapid heart rate might arise from anxiety or distress but is not a symptom directly linked to nasal mites specifically.
