I have a latex allergy. Is there such a thing as non-latex band-aids?

I know the regular ones contain latex because I have an adverse reaction when I put one on.

Absolutely. Look for one's that specifically say "latex-free." Just because it says "sensitive" does not mean latex free. I've got one on right now! I bought them at Walmart.

The store brand ones should have no latex on them. They will say on the front of the box.

yes but look closely i have a latex allergy too make SURE it says latex FREE
