Subject: [ferrethealth] ferret allergies
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Hi All,

I had someone contact AFA about getting a ferret and if humans can be
allergic to ferrets. if so, would it best be compared to a cat?

She's highly allergic to dogs and mildly allergic to cats, but has had
one severe reaction to a cat. Do ferrets have the same allergy
characteristics as cats/dogs? Is their saliva the culprit, as is the
case with cats? Whatever information/research anyone can provide that
I can pass onto her would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,
Patty
