Bellow I see a lot of debate over African Soft Fur Rats. I recently started a colony and for good reason. My wife is deathly allergic to normal rats.
Recently, we went into a local pet store. They were cleaning breeder rat cages that day. Within a couple minutes of breathing in there, my wife's throat swelled up to the point of almost suffocation. I had to rush her to the ER. She's fine, but I can't risk the death of my beloved just for rats. The ASFs don't bother her at all. She even has them almost hand tame(the breeders, not the feeders. That's just demented.)
I was wondering if anyone else has allergy issues with rats too?
