That has been covered often before and I do not have time to look it up
again but it can cause respiratory complications for ferrets. Actually,
the complication was noticed in infants and the testing was done on
ferrets.

You can find multiple past posts on this in the FML Archives and the
FHL Archives including the study abstract, and can find the study
abstract by going to PubMed.
