Question

Will I get an asthma attack from guinea pigs?

Answer 1

yup, i have asthma and i'm pretty much allergic to everything under the sun! the animal will bother you and so will the bedding, i had a hamster once... baaaaad idea! =)  even dogs and cats bother me too.  you can go to your doctors and get an allergy test, they will tell you for sure if you can handle one or not.  its just a simple blood test! good luck!

Answer 2

If you are allergic to them, probably.

It would also depend how long their hair is.

I've had rabbits, cats and horses set off my asthma before but been alright with guinea pigs - its sometimes hit and miss with me.
