Guess you don't have any allergies. Almost any dog or cat or furred animal will trigger a serious allergic reaction for me. If I continue to be exposed I'll have a major asthma attack.
You gonna be responsible for my medical bills? Nope I wouldn't think you'd care much considering your post.
Sorry but any tiny benefit you might gain from having a dog is not worth the danger to my health. I love peanuts but I won't eat any in a plane or other confined space because people's health is a higher priority than my taste buds.
- jjtheblunt 5y agoI've got allergies galore, but the animal dander faded (no idea why) while pollen is still going strong seasonally.
- racl101 5y agoSo true. I love dogs. Used to have a dog. Not no more. Got allergies something fierce. A dog in a waiting room would fuck me up big time.
- drewzero1 5y agoExactly! My first thought was "why are there any dogs at the doctor's office at all?" I've always loved dogs but I'll probably never have one again, because people in my family are allergic. Their right to breathe outranks my desire to keep an animal in the house/office/etc. The dogs in the article at least appear to be isolated from patients, but I hope similar consideration is given to lab workers (no pun intended) who may be allergic.
- tzs 5y agoMerely eating peanuts in the same general area as someone with an allergy is extremely unlikely to endanger them from airborne exposure [1]. Just wipe down your tray table and seat after you are done to avoid leaving contaminated surfaces and that should take care of even the risk of causing even a mild reaction to someone with an allergy.
