Not once in the posts about allergies did anyone mention that sometimes the culprit in not the ferret but the artificial chemical scents put in the products used to clean and soften laundry, make cat litter smell beautiful (Ha!) (Some people use it although we all know better,) perhaps red cedar shavings for bedding, which is toxic to moths, ferrets, guinea pigs and people. Laundry detergents by Tide, Purex, Cheer, All and Costco all come in a "free" version without scents or dyes. Downy makes a "free" liquid softener and there are some dryer sheets without scents but neither is really necessary for the ferret bedding. Check for these problems and try without if they are used and see if that helps. Carol Owens Ferret Friends, Inc. Tucson AZ [Posted in FML 6572]
