I found after being owned by a ferret I had to wash my hands after our play, smooch time because if I touched any area around my eyes I reacted very quick to itching, redness and headache. Not knowing immediately I tried "eye drops" allergy tabs, etc. and all I had to do was wash my hands after contact. Worked out very well. I also have other animals and some allergies but try to do my best to keep the fur from flying cause I don't want the furries to put ME in a shelter. [Posted in FML issue 3268]
