allergies taking care of a friends pet snake?

Shane O’ Casey asked:


I’ve been taking care of my friend’s snake for the past 4 days and a day into having it in my room, I have had chest problems. tight when breathing, harsh coughing, fever/chills and sweating, and the feeling of exhaustion that comes with those. It’s in a typical terrarium which smells kinda bad sometimes. So could I be allergic to the smell of the snake or its poop, or anything? or possibly mold inside.. anything?
