People with allergies have varying levels of reactions. Yours is a very extreme case, and truthfully, I would suggest that no matter what, you're going to be affected. Even in an airplane, most people with dog allergies wouldn't be aware of a dog on the plane unless they were within one or two rows of the animal, and even then, given the air filters in use, it would still have to be a person with reactions approaching yours. I have no problem if you or your family chooses not to allow animals in your homes - that's entirely within your right. It's also within your right to have people not wave animals in your face, and to prevent their pets from jumping on you and such. But just like I wouldn't ban peanuts from restaurants, planes, or public spaces, I don't think that dogs should be banned either. At least, not on a legal level. --Businesses should have the right to make their own choices as to who to cater to in this respect.
