Allergies & Alternative Service Animals

By: Rainette Murphy



EveryI hold firm to my original statement that an Alternative Service Animal takes importance over me. As a person, personally, I am deathly allergic to cats. I carry Epi-Pens since the age of 14. I have them all over my house and in each bag I carry.  On a daily basis, I carry a cross body bag and a tote for all the items I need and at all times I am prepared for when I go into any type of allergic reactions including the deadliest one, Aliphatic Shock.

Everyone in my family, my friends, and anyone I travel with is trained by me as to how to use an Epi-pen should I come across something I'm allergic to.  It is not brain surgery.


In my humble opinion, people need to get over themselves and realize it is not all about them. There are times that others can and do come before their / our personal needs.  


I did not co-found Save Our Service Animals without a lot of thought as to where this could go and what was being under taken. Enough with the politically correct, laws to protect people who are just plan paranoid etc!
