I read a few posts about ferret allergies. When we were first introduced to ferrets I found out that I was allergic. Well... the problem was that we bought ferrets / cage / everything ferret related AND we fell in love with them. When I was younger (six or seven) I was VERY allergic to cats... no issues with dogs though. I was allergic to guinea pigs too. I think over time my allergies have faded. I don't break out in a rash and my eyes don't swell shut when I pet the ferrets any more. I don't know if I built up a tolerance? I don't know if others would do the same? I know one thing is for sure... ferrets are a permanent part of my life. Dave [Posted in FML 6571]
