Latex is basically made from rubber. It is used to make gloves and are also found in some medical devices. These often cause allergic reactions to some people through inhalation of the powder in gloves or skin contact. Sneezing, runny nose, eye irritation and rashes may occur. Itching and redness are also common allergic reactions. In case you are allergic to latex and get severe itching and redness on your skin, then you may have to use an epinephrine injection to relieve your symptoms.
