Old Dominion Heather Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 For the last few years, I have been mildly allergic to latex. We ds had a water balloon and I helped him put water in it and pop it. I never put it to my mouth, which has previously made my mouth itch. Well, five minutes later, and I am hunting for the emergency inhaler. Wheezing like crazy. Freaky! I'm going to have to be WAY more careful. :glare: I hate careful.

Vida Winter Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Maybe you should keep an epi-pen in your purse just in case. Sometimes reactions get worse the more times you are exposed. How scary. Hugs to you. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I already have one for a different allergy, but this is the first time I actually thought I might have to use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in SC Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I am a longtime sufferer of latex allergy and I feel your pain. The craziness is that latex is in so many things that you don't even realize much less things like balloons. For the longest time, I did not take my allergy seriously enough and, in doing so, I made things worse in the long run. Learn from my experience. Stay away from balloons!!! :-} (Glad you're doing better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
