Yes, I drew the distinction between irritating and harmful in my post. My point is primarily that it's impossible for me to know if a person who will be next to or near me has a life-threatening allergy, and if so, to what. How many precautions should I take to protect that person, particularly given that the number of people with severe allergies to environmental antigens is very small?
