Furry pets

Pet dander (dead skin flakes) is found on every furry animal and can set-off your asthma. If your family is attached to your pet, and if having someone else adopt it isn't an option, you can: have another family member brush the pet outdoors or someplace where flying dander won't be a problem; have someone bathe the pet once a week to keep the dander down; and keep the pet out of rooms where you are often, for example your bedroom. You might consider getting a non-furry pet like a turtle, fish or snake instead.
