I have a male goat that is always rubbing his head on me. I know that he has scent glands there. Is it possible for a human to have an allergic reaction to the musk that he rubs

Hi and thanks for you question! While it is possible to develop an allergic reaction to goat musk, I don't believe this is very common. If you believe you are having an allergic reaction to your goat, please seek council from your local MD. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
