It's a shame people use this as a way to be rude to someone asking a simple question. The answer you are looking for is Latex. It is a common allergan and can be lifethreatening. The rubber gloves they sell in the market are latex, same with a lot of medical gloves and it's in a lot of things. You'll need to be very careful. You will also need to get a Med alert to wear, it gets worse each time you are exposed, and medical personnel need to know.

you have a latex allergy. i have it too. for me it's the latex gloves and balloons. it's not easy but they do have vinyl gloves if you are doing anything a lab. most hospitals have a no latex policy due to the amount of people who have the latex allergy. more common things that have latex in them because of elastic are socks, underwear, and bras. so if you are experiencing anything that you don't feel is right go consult your medical professional.

Are you thinking of latex, by any chance? That material is known to cause some very nasty allergies.
