[nagdu] EXTERNAL:Re: A true allergy case

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Agreed. 
I have been suffering with the pollen for about two weeks, with
headaches that are way worse then blindness ever was and fatigue that
just saps my energy. 
I think that what we have is a lack of sympathy from both sides. Dan's
note is in the dog camp and Chassity's earlier experience is in the
allergy camp. 
There needs to be a meeting of the minds and then a concrete plan so
that people canf unction and still accomplish business. 
How that happens is beyond me though.

I feel that you did nothing wrong on insisting access.  I also agree
with 
how you feel, though.

Plenty of people lie about their allergies, fears etc.  However, if this
man 
was truly allergic, I do have sympathy for him.

Sneezing, coughing and sounding like you're about to throw up are worse
than 
being blind.  Some allergies are severe enough to lead to long-term
illness 
or death.

I do not think you should feel badly though, because it's hard to know.
I 
believe cab drivers can get out of transporting dogs if they have a
doctor's 
note stating they are allergic.  I'm not positive on this, though.

Take care,
Meghan
