My wife developed an alergy to normal rats a few years ago. We had pet rats before the snakes. For the first 6 months, she was fine around them. Then she started noticing red lumps in the shape of rat feet on her skin where they walked on her. Then she started sneezing and having breathing problems. I was the only one who could handle them. They eventually died and we never got more.
Then last year, we went into a pet store when they were cleaning the rats and just being in there with the rat dust in the air for a few minutes, her throat swelled up to the point that she couldn't breathe. I had to rush her to the E.R. where they had to give her antihistamines to get her throat to open.
This is why I have ASFs. She's fine with them.
