:hugs well that just sucks. Are you going to have to get rid of them? Or delegate their care to others?

Lanolin allergies are actually pretty common. Bummer!

That is awful... I never thought about lanolin being an allergen- but it seems it is quite common... What about wearing gloves and long sleeves? I hope you can find a way around this.

Yup, after putting them in for the night, my hands itch like a son of a weebee.

After a quick google, hair sheep do not have lanolin. Hummm, maybe the Jacobs have to go and Katadins are in.
