Allergies are too powerful?

I noticed this trait in a potential new dupe and searched for it here.

I'm guessing this is partially implemented since dupes without the trait don't appear to be affected.

In the last few hours I've had a bit more time to play with the system, it's not so bad as long as:

1) you put the dupe in their own sleeping quarters (I'm not sure if their constant coughing & sneezing wakes others up?); and

2) you prevent the dupe from ever entering any farming area, using access permissions; and

3) you understand the dupe will drop about half of everything they ever pick up, so try to keep long ladders to a minimum; and

4) you understand the dupe will be unavailable permanently about 20% of their time, and their stress will continually range between 0-90%.

Or, you never have any Bristle Blossoms (or critters that feed on them) in your base.

It seems that when the doctor(s) is(are), they just stop treating patients and the situation deteriorates rapidly and everything will be out of control. 

It looks like maybe it's because Floral Scents + Allergies are being treated (incorrectly) as Zombie Spores?

My allergic dupe has "The spores!" giving them +200% stress per cycle.
