A member asked:
How do i know if my girlfriend is allergic to latex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms and test: Latex allergy can manifest as rash, hives, asthma or even anaphylaxis after exposure to natural rubber latex. Exposures could be rubber gloves, condoms, catheters, balloons, etc. An allergist can help diagnose using a blood test (although it's not perfect) as commercial skin test extract is not available.
