Unfortunately, this might be true for Bill.  But if it is rodent and male
cat urine that can cuase problems, then this really does make sense.

We wouldn't call that recanting.  Allergies should not be so lightly joked
about.  People DO die from them.  Ferrets suffer if their care giver is
allergic to them as then can not possibly be checked out carefully enough
if the caregivers eyes are too runny to see them.  They can't possibly get
enough attention if that attention makes the owner physically ill.  With
medication some of us with allergies can get past these problems
