I've also wondered this often. I work for a large scale snake breeder and on certain days I am in the rat room all day (7-8 hours straight) and the next morning I feel like I smoked a carton of menthol cigarettes the night before. I don't think it's healthy at all. After a couple days the nasty feeling goes away but I wonder if breathing the "rat air" does damage to the respiratory system? Doesn't seem like it could be good that's for sure.
