|Subject: Allergies | |Ferret allergens are not included in the standard allergy test battery. Having many allergies, I was worried about ferrets. I have yet to meet an allergist with a ferret allergy test, apparently it doesn't exist (yet :). In my case, the allergist had me get some ferret hair from a pet store, then he injected some of the solution they use for testing allergies (without any other allergens in it) through the ferret hair into my skin. Luckily nothing happened, and my ferrets and I get along great :) Maxmillion Fantastic (18 inches!!!), Sagittarius Excalibur and me. ------------------------------------------------------------------ (__) ---- David Ljung 314 N.
