I use latex gloves with powder.. but whenever i wear them the tops of my hands get tingly.. sometimes it's really bad.. but it's only those gloves ??

Latex Allergy?: I find a lot of people think they have it but when formerly tested rarely does anyone actually have it. A lot of people develop sensitivities to anti-caking agents or other substances in the manufacture of the gloves. If you can, switch to nitrile type gloves. If you must use latex gloves, powder free is preferred. Some folks also apply some sort of barrier lotion prior to using them.
