Latex allergy?


Question:
Allergic to shellfish (tummy ache), bananas (tummy ache), and avocadoes (itchy throat). Allergic to latex? Will I become allergic to latex?

Answers:
You may become allergic to latex. You may have a sensitivity to latex at this point and if that is the case it can get worse with exposure. I started with an mild allergy to bananas and avocados. I also started reacting to band-aids that had latex in them. I have become more sensitive to latex over the past few years and now have made a point of avoiding it whenever possible. I have had my hands get itchy after exposure to latex gloves. The thing to remember is that you do not want to wait until you have a severe allergy to latex before you start avoiding it.
No. If you have ever touched a balloon and you didn't break out in a rash...you are not allergic to latex.
