What are the symptoms of latex paint allergies?

They would be the same as the symptoms for a latex allergy which would be as follows:

skin rash or itching (usually on the hands);
hives;
swollen, red skin;
swollen lips and tongue, with difficulty breathing;
shortness of breath, wheezing;
dizziness;
fainting;
stomach pain;
diarrhea;
shock (rare, except in people who have chronic allergic reactions to latex products).

The binder in a latex paint is a solid, plastic-like material dispersed as microscopic particles in water. This dispersion is a milky-white liquid, which is called latex in the paint industry, in that it is reminiscent of natural latex from the rubber tree. Latex is also called emulsion, and in some countries, such as England, latex paints are referred to as emulsion paints.

Except for appearance, the latex used in paint is in no way connected with the natural latex used in some kinds of rubber gloves, which reportedly have caused allergic reactions among certain users of the gloves.

so if you are having some sort of reaction, it's not due to actual latex.
