latex allergy

[orangehead]

It looks like I might have a latex allergy, having tests next week. Besides the obvious condoms and medical gloves, what else contains latex? Anyone else allergic and have any advice? Many thanks

Balloons sometimes do...Dh has a latex allergy and has had a couple of near misses with balloons !

Thanks laidback

Orangehead, did you know that your family planning will get you latex free condoms if you ask for them.

Just been there tonight actually as I usually use the cap. Now have to decide what to use as I go a bit mental on the pill. But they gave me some free ones till I figure out what to do

go for a hormone free coil, but tell fp that you have a latex allergy, as they will have to use latex free gloves.

Tons of medical-related stuff. If it is a severe allergy you might want to consider a medical alert bracelet in case of A&E - related incidents.

I don't know if washing up gloves still have latex in them, but they used to.

loads of gloves (household and gardening) have latex, balloons, some clothing, anything with a "stretch" may contain latex.

i have a sensitivity (get blisters and rash) but get fed up with nothing being labelled.
