Lol! I have terrible allergies and asthma. And I was born 6 weeks premature so I have a lot of health issues.
So when my mother and father divorced and my mom moved my big brother and I back to America, an old army friend gave her a pet rat. They're apparently hypoallergenic and good for kids with asthma since they use a pellet or bark litter.
I have only a cat now, but I can't clean his litter out because I have a low immune system and it's dangerous for me to breath in the dust from the litter. So we don't keep his litter box in our room, we keep it in the living room and my mother-in-law's room. She and my husband clean the litter boxes and I don't touch them without gloves and a mask.
I'd love a pet rat again, but my husband's mom hates them and he is afraid of them. Although he does maybe want a Chinchilla! But they use dust for baths so I may not be able to deal with that.
What I'd really love is a pet turtle! But I am allergic to all amphibians and reptiles!
