A friend told me that. He said not the venom, but the actual snake.

you can probably be allergic to anything and everything... snakes, however, are another issue... poisonous or not, they carry salmonella.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a new report on reptile associated Salmonellosis (infection with Salmonella bacteria). Salmonellosis is serious and potentially fatal, especially in young children or anyone with a weakened immune system. The CDC estimates that 74,000 cases of Salmonellosis per year are associated with exposure to reptiles or amphibians (directly or indirectly), which makes this a significant public health concern.

Some unlucky people -are- allergic to snakes, usually only when the animal is shedding. But I would say that snakes or lizards are the least likely to trigger allergies. Maybe fish.

It is also physically impossible to be allergic to tape!
