Latex allergy sufferers.. How do you cope?!


Question: Latex allergy sufferers!.!. How do you cope!?
I am finding it hard as there are alot of products that contain Latex!. The other day I picked up a DOG TOY, that was made from latex, I didnt even realise what it was made of untill I looked at the lable!. 5 minutes later I was covered in a rash and very itchy (I have scabs now from where I was itching the rash)!.

Does anyone else suffer from a latex allergy!? How do you cope!?!?

And dont you find it annoying when doctors and dentists always put on Latex gloves without asking you if you are allergic!?
I recently had a baby and they had to stock my room with latex free gloves as they didnt supply them in all the rooms!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When I found out(and still now) I just did a lot of research to find out like everything that has latex in it, and now I'm to the point that I can tell by looking at things if it has latex in it or if it might, so I just stay away from those things!. And yes it is really annoying and obnoxious, but after a while you get use to it!. Just make sure too that when you go to the doctor/dentist that you tell them before they even get the gloves on!.

Good luck =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
