A few of the symptoms of the latex allergy...is obviously itchyness, irritation, discompfert of the skin, rash, hives, wheezing, sneezing...( the symptoms are rather similar to sesonnal allergys) all in all depending of the reaction of certain people.

Here are a couple of sites that describe the different symptoms of an allergy. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/latex-allergy/DS00621/DSECTION=symptoms http://www.medicinenet.com/latex_allergy/article.htm And if you are allergic to latex in general, you will be allergic to latex condoms.

chemical allergies and the many problems you describe are often ignored,unjustly,by mainstream doc,if they do not produce anaphylactic,life threatening symptom,,,,chems used on adhesive strips could be your problem

I am have a latex allergy. My symptoms depend on what is used in conjunction with the latex and where I come into contact with it. If it is contact without powder being used, away from my face, and it is an incidental contact my symptoms include: redness and itching. However if it is a prolonged exposure my skin will breakdown to the point where I begin bleeding at the point of contact with latex. Now, if the contact is by my face my eyes will water, I will get stuffy sinuses too and tight throat in addition to my skin breaking down. If the product contain powder too my symptoms are compounded to the point where I cannot breathe if the exposure is prolonged due to shortness of breath and my throat swelling shut. Reading your positing it is possible that you might be allergic to latex. Alternatively you could be allergic to the adhesive in the steri-strip or one of the ingredients used in the steri-strip. Best advice is to speak with your doctor.

Each person can react differently to an allergy to natural rubber latex. Chemical in Adhesives are made with the same chemical accelerants used to make natural rubber latex and synthetic manmade latex and are trouble for some. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the latex or the chemicals are the issue. My first symptoms were trouble with band aids, a rash - and other times almost like I had been burned where the band aid touched my skin. I am now disabled due to this allergy and my lack of knowledge in first dealing with it. No one told me airborne latex proteins from gloves or balloons could make me hypersensitive, and lead to more serious respiratory symptoms quickly. Clothing with spandex and elastics, like bicycle shorts made me itch. Spandex normally has natural rubber latex in it. There are foods that are so closely related to latex your body thinks it's eating latex; banana, kiwi, avocado, chestnuts, tomato & potato are the common ones, but the list is much bigger. Sometimes having an allergy to one of these cross reactive foods will exacerbate into a latex allergy. The only treatment is to avoid all forms of natural rubber latex. You may be in the beginning stages of the allergy, mine didn't manifest for a few years to full blown symptoms that became obvious. Even now with my serious reactions the tests all say I'm negative. Diagnosis is made by taking a detailed medical history, not just relying on tests that aren't always accurate. This is a serious allergy, it is worth your time to learn about it, and make sure you practice avoidance of all latex until you know for sure one way or the other if you do indeed have it.

The answers above pretty much say it all. If you are allergic (severally) make sure your Doctor gives you a Rx for an EppiPen. ADB
