Latex-free products: I know that sounds simple, but if you're allergic to latex, you should avoid products that contain latex (gloves, condoms, balloons, etc.). You might also be careful with certain foods that cross-react (kiwi and banana for example).

Avoid and educate: The best treatment for natural rubber latex allergy is avoidance and obtaining information about finding acceptable substitutions for latex. It's important to be prepared, have self injectable Epinephrine and find an allergist with expertise in latex allergy.
