  1. If the kid is allegic, then it is best to have no pet though or one that the kid isn't allergic to. Allergens can lead to cancer, bc when a person takes antihistamine they are surpressing the immune system and that's when cancer takes it's opportunity to progress and take over. Also the repeated damage of the immune system having to over work everytime a dog/cat dander is present can trigger cancer overgrowth in the cellls, bc cell memory. It's like people with allergies pretty much just have to stay away from things they are allergic to.
