Management of Latex Allergy

Managing latex allergy involves avoiding products containing latex, such as gloves, balloons, and elastic bands. Use latex-free alternatives like nitrile or vinyl gloves and inform healthcare providers of your allergy before medical procedures. Always check labels on products and inquire about latex content. In case of accidental exposure, remove yourself from the source and use antihistamines or an epinephrine auto-injector if experiencing severe reactions. Keep an emergency action plan and wear a medical alert bracelet. Regularly consult with an allergist for personalized advice and update your allergy management plan as needed to prevent serious reactions.
