Can you develop a latex allergy by being in contact with it on a regular basis?


If you aren't allergic to latex, can you develop an allergy to it by wearing latex gloves (like for dishwashing or cleaning) on a consistent daily basis?

Yes.
In fact, you can develop an allergy to ANYTHING like THAT *snap*
Shrimp, latex, nuts, you name it...

The allergy would be there already. The increased exposure to latex probably made it symptomatic.

yes

you can develop allergies to anything at anytime in your life

yes, absolutely

Yes, over exposure to anything can build up an intolerance

yes, you can

Thats why they sell latex free gloves now. For the latex sensitive individuals.

Its random the chance is 50/50 noone knows
