In the medical field I came across people allergic to latex all the time. In my personal life, my best friend is allergic to it. So it's not nearly as uncommon as you might think.

Yes, one of my class mates was allergic to latex. She had to wear latex-free gloves before she was able to work in lab.

Yes, lots of people are allergic to latex. It is a very common allergy and can be quite life threatening or very mild.

Yep...I am. I've heard that if you're allergic to latex you're also allergic to bananna's....which I am as well. But never came across into anyone else with both of those allergies.

*raises hand*
I'm allergic to latex. If I go to the dentist I have to ask for special gloves and if I have sex I have to use the EXPENSIVE condoms or I get a horrible rash.
IT SUCKS.

I met someone who said she was severely allergic to latex and she showed me her Medic-Alert bracelet to prove it.

No I have not. If there was, their house I hope is painted with oil-based paint, not latex.

Yes, I have. In science class, we were doing an experiment and he grabbed the wrong gloves by mistake. Within minutes he had a rash. I feel bad for the poor kid. =/
