[net.pets] pets and allergies

I have a sister who is allergic to alot of things.  The problem is
that she has a guinea pig she keeps in her room and she is allergic to
it too.  Does anyone know of an air filtering system that could
alleviate her sneezing and sniffling and catching of colds?  I know
the easiest solution would be to remove the guinea pig from the room.
(I tried suggesting that already)

I too have allergies ( I've actually been tested as being severely allergic
to ALL animal dander, what a bummer!) Anyway, we have a $280+ Vitaire air
purifier in our bedroom and it sure makes life alot easier (we don't have any
pets.) I don't know if it would help your sister, but it is a VERY good
air purifier.
