Research Notes on Latex Allergy Symptoms


Latex allergy symptoms typically do not appear after the first exposure to latex, but tend to develop over time as the immune system becomes sensitized to the allergen. Symptoms usually occur within two to three days of a subsequent exposure to latex.1 Latex allergy symptoms may include itchy, red and watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, rash or hives, chest tightness, or shortness of breath.2


Fast Facts:

  • Severe latex allergy symptoms may include dizziness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, or loss of consciousness.2
  • A person who has an anaphylactic reaction needs immediate medical attention.2
  • An untreated anaphylactic reaction can be fatal.1
