Live With an Allergy to Latex - Let your supervisor at work know that you are allergic to latex if you are employed in health care or any other industry that uses a wide variety of latex products.
Use vinyl gloves instead of latex ones, or use gloves made of a synthetic latex.
Tell your dentist and doctor that you are allergic to latex. They will need to wear gloves made of nonlatex material.
Read clothing labels. Clothing may contain elastic made from latex. Watch for clothing that is stretchy or rubbery, such as socks.
Watch for rubber toys if your child has a latex allergy. Read the labels on toy products, and check with the manufacturer if you have any concerns or suspicions.
Latex allergies are becoming more common as more and more products are
manufactured with this material. Fortunately, there are alternatives to most latex
products, but close observation is still needed to make sure you do not come
into contact with it.
