Sure it is possible if there is any sensitivity to that at all, but the
heats to cause its release are very high. I also look for candles, cleaning
products, bedding, etc that could contribute to a problem. Ie if you use
wood shavings there could be something in them and the smell alone is
irritating (although we don't typically use wodd shavings with ferrets,).
