Allergic to feeders?

SO I'm allergic to rats and mice, which sucks because I have to end up getting all my feeders from someone else. Allegra helps a little, but not enough. I gave up breeding rats a while back because it was just too bad on my allergies. Now that I'm starting up snakes again I wanted to know if anyone else has this problem? Any ideas how to make it manageable? Or have you found a different kind of feeder to work with? I mainly keep ball pythons.

How are you with birds? Have you considered trying day old chicks, or quail as feeders?

Another option is to try nude mice or rats - hairless therefore less allergenic (maybe...)

I'm even worse with birds, allegra doesnt help me at all and it continues to effect me for a day or more if i'm around them. Hairless doesnt make a difference

Man that sucks. Not too much you can do unless there is a good medicine that will stop it. We breed rats but my wife takes care of them and i take care of snakes. The pine bedding that we use mess with my allergies pretty ruff but doesnt carry onto the next day. Im fine just going in there just cant be in there on cleaning day. Buy bulk its cheaper in the long run if you cant stomp this allergy you have. Goodluck.
