I'm not sure how common the the reaction is but it is clear that your latex allergy is severe. Now that you know you are going to react this wa make sure you speak up WHEVER you see someone coming at you with gloves on!!!! There may be many more times in your life that nurses, techs and doctors don't look at your chart first. You need to speak up and tell them you of your allergy!!! You may also want to consider getting a medic alert bracelt incase you are ever in an accident and unable to tell the EMT's that come to your aid. They ALL use Latex unless they themselves are allergic. Good Luck!
