No, mine is not that serious - I should have been clearer about that in my first comment when I said 'absurd' - I mean 'absurd given that the level of reaction is unpleasant rather than really dangerous'.

My last paragraph that you quote does say 'mild sensitivities', and I'm thinking really there of the painfully large number of animals that are surrendered under the banner of 'allergies' when at most what is being talked about is a minor reaction. Life threatening conditions are a different kettle of fish, I accept.
