Hi Tina,
Yes, you most certainly can be allergic to guinea pigs. In fact, according to my allergist, they are amongst the most allergy symptom-producing pets you can own. Apparently, it's the urine, not so much the fur, that causes the problems. I notice that if I let the cage cleaning go longer than I should I start to have problems. If I clean his house and vacuum regularly, I'm okay. Sticking my nose into his fur doesn't help, though! (But I can't resist!)
