Unlikely. Your nose hair is designed to filter the fur from going into your lungs. If your pet sheds a lot, you may want to get a pet comb to brush them.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Pet groomers can get something called groomers lung which is when teeny tiny bits of cut hair and pet dander get in lungs and don't get swept out by the lungs cilia because they are sharp edged from being cut/trimmed they lodge in the lungs and cause problems by damaging and scaring the lungs or by causing an allergic reaction directly inside the lungs. This is usually a chronic condition once it develops as the lungs are permanently damaged. This is prevented by keeping the workplace clean, well ventilated and wearing a mask when grooming dogs. Natural dog hair that isn't being clipped should be too big to be easily inhaled into the lungs, if any does get into your airway you'd most likely cough it out or swallow it and digest it.
I'm not an expert, per se, but I think we covered enough anatomy in our first year of medical school for me to answer with some modicum of authority.
The structures of the bones, hairs, and membranes of your respiratory tract are able to prevent microscopic particles and single-celled bacteria from making it into your lungs. Pet hair cannot get into your lungs passively, and your sneezing is from the microscopic dander irritating those structures. Your mom seems to be grasping at straws or retelling old wives' tales to express her personal distaste for the animals. The worst that can happen here is an allergic reaction, which doesn't seem to be applicable to you.
I know a person like that. When out of arguments, she always has „a friend whose friend’s sister’s daughter/son has a friend who knew someone who died because of enter_the_subject_of_conversation”
Like others wrote already, don’t worry, it ain’t gonna happen. And as a bonus, cuddling your dogs to sleep has some health benefits, like reducing stress, lowering the blood pressure and hearth rate etc etc.
