Just how long would you need to be exposed to the dog to get such a reaction as an anaphylactic shock? I have read that you would probably have to be sniffing the dog directly for about an hour. How likely is this? Have there ever been any instances of a person going into an anaphylactic shock from exposure to any animal?


it can be almost instant, 5 minutes, 10 minutes....who knows

someone with a nut or seafood allergy can be struck in seconds

Yes but they have to eat the product not just sniff the left over residue. :roll:

the human skin is as sensitive in some cases of allergies as the internal organs, most allergy tests are don on the skin...

i dont say it WOULD happen, only that it COULD

Perhaps we should ban all dog owners from driving licensed vehicles......just to be on the safe side :D

You have dogs, don't you.............. :badgrin:

There are a lot of problems re this subject. One angle that was thrown at me after talking about this, is this one.

We talk about exoneration/ a certificate from taking animals because a driver has an allergy!

What are the legal implications if a passenger gets into a vehicle that has been carrying a guide dog/any animal, and that PASSENGER has an allergy to animals? If they go into a medical situation such as one might do with a "Nut allergy" - are we liable?



Can't do nothing, I always carry a lint roller in the glove box if a guide dog has been in the car.

TBH, it's quite sad that legislation is even needed.

Says more about someone who won't take a guide dog or needs the law to make them do what's right and decent.
