According to the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, a prior allergic reaction to horses or rabbits might be a reason to avoid exposure to antibody products from that particular animal, i.e., a reason to avoid horse ATG or rabbit ATG, but simply being around the animals should not be a problem if it didn't produce an allergic reaction.
Also, an ATG test dose is given to check for severe allergic reactions prior to giving the full dose, so a full-scale allergic reaction would be prevented.
