im just wondering if anyone here on this forum has any problems with being around rats. tuesday i went to and got rats for our snakes, the left over rats are in a 10 gallon tank with food and water.
then on weds i woke up not being able to breath, my nose was stuffy, i could feel that my lungs where tight. i cant hold them because i will brake out, and itch. i waited a day to see if my allergic reaction to the rats would go away, i even put the rats in the bathroom with the fan on.
finialy i had enough and went to the er to get breathing treatments done. i had to get 2 of them and iam on anti biotics for an upper resp infection, and for my lungs.
so my question is, does anyone here have allergies towards rats? i used to own them as pets a few years ago. many people have told me that being around them after a while some people can become allergic..
and also im posting this to see if anyone has any ideas about what i can do differently when we get rats for our snakes. like can i put the rats in different bedding? aspen messing with my lungs aswell.
do you think a air purifire would help to collect the dander? i wouldnt mind paying extra money to get hairless rats, i see that they dont upset my lungs and skin as much..
thank you for reading and for any input
