People being allergic to animals (mainly cats and dogs) is not uncommon,and cats and dogs being allergic to fleas is also not uncommon,but how about a dog that's allergic to humans? I did a double take when I read about Adam,a two year old black lab who was taken in at a rescue center after being posted on a rescue website. The rescue center figured they would have him healthy and ready for a new home in a couple of weeks or a month. They treated him for fleas first,started him on quality dog food and took him to the vet for special baths to sooth his inflamed skin. Nothing seemed to be the solution until the vet did a blood test that revealed Adam was allergic to human dander! He is now on a series of shots similar to what a human undergoes to make their allergies more manageable. The long term hope is for him be able to tolerate human companionship without itching and sneezing. Poor guy!
