If you have a latex allergy, you can prevent reactions by avoiding contact with latex products.
If you have a job that involves contact with latex gloves or other latex products, your employer should provide you with non-latex gloves to wear while working. If you are allergic to latex gloves, tell your doctor or other health care providers so they can take steps to protect you from exposure.
If you think you may have a latex allergy, see an allergist for skin testing and diagnosis. Once diagnosed, avoid exposure to latex and carry emergency medication with you in case of accidental exposure.
