Can Allergies To Pets Cause Brain Damage

What happens if you break up and snort Equate Allergy Relief tablets?

Don't worry about why, just tell me what happens. thanks. I will quickly ignore whoever says "that's not a good idea", I just want my question answered.
Will be picking best answer.

Are flea collars dangerous to humans?

Yes, California was talking about banning them altogether--the chemical residu on the cat's neck from them was in the toxic levels when checked against the tolerance level of children.

Flea collars are pesticide coated, they don't work well and I can't see wasting money on them when the flea drops do a far better job.

Here's one of the news stories about it and a quote--
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/pets...
"A new report released by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) found levels up to 1,000 times higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows for two carcinogenic neurotoxins (propoxur and TCVP) on pet fur after the use of ordinary flea collars. This means that each time Miss Kitty cleans herself or a child snuggles with the family dog, they're exposing themselves to toxic chemicals that can damage both the brain and the nervous system and potentially cause cancer."

You can find out more by googling "California flea collar ban'

With an undiagnosed anxiety disorder and depression, I believe that a service dog will help me. I won't be able to own one until I graduate from high school due to family allergies, but that's when I'll need it the most. What do I do?

I think you’re missing the point of a service dog and how to get one. Service dogs are dogs trained to be an aide for someone with a documented disorder that officials believe negatively impacts their ability to live life normally.You need to be documented before they will consider it. If you want to remain undocumented, you can just get a normal dog.However, to buy a service dog that is already trained; that is a very expensive thing to do. I once looked it up, and the price was around 7k.There is a ton of paper work involved in getting a service dog.Think hard before you go about this. You may be taking a dog away from someone else who actually needs it’s help rather than you needing a pet for emotional support.I suffer from a fair amount of anxiety and depression. Granted, it gets better when I’m away from family; but it is still there. I looked into getting a service animal. My therapist talked to me about the process.I barely qualified for one. I will get an animal for emotional support. I do believe emotional support animal is different than a service animal. Please correct me if I’m wrong!Edit: I apologize if you feel like I was attacking you. I was just trying to get my point across and have you think hard. If you have gone about life normally, but just suffer from anxiety & depression like me, save up for a pet. You don’t need to specifically have a service dog.A fair number of people think they need a service animal to go through life if they feel like they are struggling, but end up just fine living life as they did before (by seeking help through other means like a therapist and such).
