Severe Allergic Reactions to Pet Dander in Shared Workplaces with No Accommodation or Solution

Summary
Individuals with severe pet dander allergies face life-threatening anaphylactic reactions at work because pet allergens travel on coworkers' clothing and linger in poorly ventilated, carpeted offices. Even with doctor-written recommendations for remote work, employers deny accommodation, forcing employees to choose between their health and their job. Existing mitigation methods are ineffective, and there is no standardized system for removing dander from shared spaces or enforcing allergy-safe workplace policies.
