Hi everyone,
According to my poll 87.5% (thanks Jo for the heads up on my percentage goof) (12 out of 14 people who participated) have pets or have been exposed to pets on a regular basis either in previous years or now. I suspect the two who entered "no" probably were exposed as well, but may have thought I meant only currently since I changed it to clarify later. If those two people are reading, please let me know.
I grew up with cats for the most part. For sure, no one had a clue regarding toxoplasmosis or even any possibility of any disease spread by contact with feces then (most still don't....how sad) I witness people coming in contact with their animals' saliva and pets ruling the home territory (cats jumping up and walking all over kitchen countertops, dogs jumping up onto furniture and SITTING on the pillows people then put under their heads, etc.) you know who you are
I developed allergies to animals at age 18.
Anyway, if you haven't participated in the poll, please do so. I'm going to bring it to the forefront again.
thanks,
Kritters
