Posted by: christine i anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Andrea, I know, that's what the guy who owns the kennel/grooming said too but I am not allergic to anything and otherwise absolutely healthy as a horse . I noticed afterwards that the girls ( they rotated twice a day ) at the reception desk were kind of hacking like smoker's cough once in a while too. So I asked about it and two of them had problems with it as well, they were fine when it was turned off. Yes, it does eliminate odors, to a large degree. Maybe it was turned up too high. I just know that I had to go outside and take a deep breath after being in there because it restricted my lung capacity. Please don't think I am knocking Alpine, this is just from my own experience and I wondered about the toxicity factor since I know I read that in my Holistic literature somewhere ...thought someone else might have seen it too. The fact that we are just now doing studies to determine the buildup of toxicity due to pesticides just illustrates the need to be careful about believing everything a salesman tells us. Having been a groomer for thirty years I would be one of those affected via dips and flea sprays. I am just more careful these days, that's all.
