A dog in a bag is not going to affect an allergy sufferer and I repeat...I have done a TON of research for allergies and chemicals and the stuff we clean with is actually worse for us. there is a commercial out right now on the radio, they have found that chemicals and pesticides int he classrooms have increased and are causing a rise in ADHD, allergies, and asthma...so if you REALLY want to get into the allergy debate and who is affecting our allergies...look to cleaning chemcials, look to what we are doing to the environement...look to what PEOPLE do. It is FAR worse.
Did you know that at least one chemical that makes up lawn pesticides is in agent orange? Did you know the cancer risks involved for our pets when they walk the neihborhood so close to the ground and these things are being sprayed ever6ywhere? And the risk to our kids??? How come nothing is done about that? These allergy suffering kids can't even play outside without be affected by what someone wants to put on their lawn so that it can look "weed free".
Ironically, we were out at an outdoor event and one area wouldn't allow dogs. Okay...well we moved to another area. People are such pigs. old food was thrown everywhere. I couldn't even let my dog down and walk around because of the disease that I was afraid of that was in all the trash and junk.
So my point is, PEOPLE affect allergies more then a dog in a bag. People affect disease more then dog in bags do.

Well, I am sure with all the chemicals and such this is true. But as myself being the severe allergy suffer of cats I know I dont even have to be with them or them touch me and I am off to the hospital just because there hair and dander was around. The doctors even say with each inncident it gets worse. ... Chanda was not debating... or trying to argue... Just merely stating consideration. You and I as an individual can be considerate of others.. Truly to even state that your Brother is the worse allergy suffer there is ... that no one could get any worse. Is a rediculous statement, beings you have no idea , unless you have your doctors degree.. as I can tell by all that you dont. You also mentioned that your brother can be around non shedding dogs.. thats great... but there is not just non shedding dogs out there.. they cant allow our precious yorkies in and not allow someone to let there cat or golden retriever.... I have 4 dogs.. and Luckily they have no affect on me. But, Cats do... Just as I am sure some dogs have the same affect on them as Cats do on me or some worse.. and I am pretty bad... To the point of hospitalized. With this said.. say what you will... I am now refraining myself from such a non productive debate. Have a nice day!
