You should be fine with the wool mat. It has been washed and processed to death before it arrives at your house. Most likely it is the lanolin you are allergic to. Sheep don't have much, if any, dander. Some breeds have more than others, but all have lanolin. Some folks, such as myself, love the smell and feel of sheep. I no longer have sheep but when I visit my sheep fiends the first thing I do is visit the sheep and plunge my hands into their wooly fleece. Enjoy your new mat.
