Ask The Doctor: Can A Dirty House Pet Cause Asthma/Allergies?

The doctor is in! The PIX Morning News' Dr. Steve Salvatore is here to answer your questions:

1. Can you develop asthma and allergies as a teen from an unkempt house pet?
Crystal, Rockaway Park, NY

2. When will a person know if their anxiety is too much to handle on their own? When you exercise, eat healthy and try to get plenty of rest. When would you say a person may need medication? Need help...please advise.
Daniella, New Jersey
