Default Allergies TO tortoises???

Has anyone ever heard of someone being allergic to their tortoise?

I just wondered because I was allergic to bearded dragons, I think to their excretment. I don't notice anything but I'm paranoid. So I thought I would put this question out there

It was most likely that you were allergic to what you were feeding the bearded dragon, ie. crickets, mealworms, superworms. I'm personally allergic to mealworms.
You'd only be allergic to the thing associated to a tortoise, like food, substrate and the like.
