Latex Allergy

About Me

Hello, my name is Tris!


I'm 8 years old and I love karate and animals.


I've always had a moderately severe allergy to latex since I was younger.


My allergy can make me cough, wheeze, get hives(bumpy red rash), have a runny or blocked nose and make it hard to breathe.
I have to stay away from things that contain latex because I don’t want to have a reaction.

About My Allergy

My allergy is a moderately severe allergy to latex.


Latex is a type of rubber that is found in a lot of things, especially medical equipment.


Latex allergies can range from being mildly severe to anaphylactic and symptoms can range from hives (a bumpy red rash), a blocked or runny nose, headaches, asthma symptoms and anaphylaxis symptoms.
  

Dealing With My Allergy

Every day I have to be careful of my allergy and stay alert.
With my allergy I need to check things that I think might have latex in them or I could get sick.

It is especially important to let the school nurse, my doctor, my dentist and any other medical professional I go to see know about my allergy so I don’t have a reaction.


Latex is a type of rubber that is found in lots of things such as:
​
Disposable gloves
Bandages
Balloons
Tires
Rubber toys
Baby bottles
Handbags
Stethoscopes
Sports shoes
Pacifiers
