Not asking for a ban on anything, just want people to be aware of the issue. Sorry, can't find a proper scholarly source right now, but in the past I have seen estimates that conservatively place the occurance rate of pet allergy at around 5-10%. If an airplane seats 200, that's probably "several"; maybe only a few of them will have allergies bad enough to matter. Since dander persists in the environment, at least a few people are going to be allergic to that envirnoment if this happens a lot. I have to go to work and school, so I can't always avoid this kind of thing. My friend didn't claim to have a medical diagnosis, she just didn't like to be without her dog. By analogy, it might be like if people went around rubbing clams on the furniture at your office. Like at least it would be nice if they only did it with a good reason.
