Some people may experience asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

Allergic reactions to latex may be serious and can very rarely be fatal. If you have latex allergy you should limit or avoid future exposure to latex products. People who are at higher risk for developing latex allergy include: health care workers and others who frequently wear latex gloves, people who have had multiple surgeries (for example, 10 or more), such as children with spina bifida, people who are often exposed to natural rubber latex, including rubber industry workers, people with other allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or allergy to certain foods. An allergist has specialized training and expertise in managing allergies, allergic rhinitis and
