Medical Conditions - Latex Allergy

People with latex allergies tend to exhibit allergic reactions after being previously sensitized to latex products. Subsequent latex contact causes allergic reactions leading to running or blocked nose, shortness of breath, chest tightness, itching, hives, etc. Anaphylaxis is a severe hypersensitivity reaction leading to breathing difficulties and a fall in blood pressure. This is potentially life-threatening. Such people are advised to avoid contact with latex-containing gloves, balloons, condoms, bandages, catheters, rubber dams, stethoscopes, endoscopic tubes, shoes, nipples, bags, shoes, tires, elastic bands of dresses, etc.
