Not necessarily. It just depends on the dander they have. It doesn't look like you would be though. You can always get an allergy test done to find out for sure. Why would it matter unless you're planning on going on a safari somewhere.





I had a professor who had allergy tests done and found out he was allergic to mice, not rats, and cockroaches.

Reply:Yes, the molecular structure of their fur is very similar and that's what you're allergic to.
