All stores must say no to animals – Geffel Dagblad

Every third Swede has some form of allergy and we are 800,000 people with asthma.

There are different symptoms of a fur allergy. These are the most common:

• Your nose runs when you sneeze

• You have a stuffy nose

• The eyes become itchy and red

• You may cough

• Have asthma-like attacks

People with animal allergies are more likely to develop asthma with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, hacking cough, and wheezing in the chest. If you suffer from asthma and fur allergies, your risk of developing allergic problems also increases. Some also develop skin problems in the form of itching and hives after contact with fur allergens.

Allergy sufferers should be just as important as other people!

Our members want to be able to go to cafes and restaurants without getting sick.

To be able to shop for clothes without making your kids sick due to animal traces on all the clothes.

We wish all store owners would say no to animals and yes to all people instead. Not to drive us away or make us sick.

We have members who can’t buy used clothes because of an allergy to animals, and soon those people won’t be able to buy new clothes either, as store after store welcomes animals.
