Latex Allergy Symptoms

No, no condoms. I mean latex in general. What is a brief description of the symptoms? And yes, of course, I'm going to the doctor to be tested for latex allergy. I was just wondering if I have one of the most common symptoms other than severe itching, hives, watery eyes, runny nose, and throat. I recently had surgery and where they applied a latex adhesive is where the problem is! Or have I been allergic to the steri-strips?

The answers above almost everything. If you are allergic (jointly) Make sure your doctor gives you an Rx for a EppiPen.

Latex allergy can be mild or severe, with symptoms such as:

* Itching, redness, watery eyes
* Sneezing or runny nose
* Cough
* Rash or hives
* Chest tightness
* Shortness of breath

Some people who wear latex gloves get bumps, sores, cracks or red, raised areas on the hands. These symptoms usually appear 12-36 hours after contact with latex. Change gloves without latex, with glove liners, and greater attention to hand care can help relieve these symptoms.

A person who is very allergic to latex may also have a potentially fatal allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock. Symptoms include:

* Difficulty breathing
* Dizziness
* Confusion
* Wheezing
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Rapid or weak pulse
* Loss of consciousness

Someone having an anaphylactic reaction needs immediate medical attention.

Here are some sites that describe the various symptoms of allergy.

I am allergic to latex. My symptoms depend on what is used in conjunction with the latex and where I come in contact with him. If it is contact without powder used, away from my face, and it is accidental contact my symptoms: redness and itching. However, if prolonged exposure my skin is broken to the point where I started bleeding at the point of contact with latex.

Now, if the contact is by my face my eyes water, I'm having clogged sinuses and throat too over my skin break. If the product containing the powder over my symptoms worsened to the point where I can not breathe if exposure is prolonged due to shortness of breath and swelling in my throat closed.
