Latex allergy

OMG this is unbelievable. It was really cool to get hair extensions but...

I know I'm allergic to latex condoms, gloves and the adhesive for hormone patches, but this??? Yes, I had to remove them quickly. My eyelids looked like I had cotton balls shoved under them.

I was in bed for 2 days.
What are the symptoms of latex allergy?

If you experience a latex allergic reaction, you may have the following signs and symptoms:

Skin rash
Hives
Eye tearing and irritation
Wheezing
Itching
What happens during a latex reaction?

There are three types of latex reactions, with increasing severity of symptoms:

Irritant contact dermatitis: the least threatening type of latex reaction, classified as a non-allergenic skin reaction. It results in dryness, itching, burning, scaling, and lesions of the skin.

Allergic contact dermatitis: a delayed reaction to additives used in latex processing, which results in the same type of reactions as irritant contact dermatitis. However, the reaction is more severe, less localized (spreads to more parts of the body), and lasts longer.

Immediate allergic reaction (latex hypersensitivity): (latex hypersensitivity) is the most serious reaction to latex. It can appear as rhinitis with hay fever-like symptoms, conjunctivitis (pink eye), cramps, hives, or severe itching. Rarely, symptoms may progress to include rapid heart beat, tremors, chest pain, difficulty breathing, hypotension, anaphylactic shock, temporary loss of consciousness or potentially, death.

You know. i feel your pain. i think i had the same reaction to when i put my hair extensions on , i had horrible headaches adn breathed weird . i didn't kno w thou it was from that i just thought i put them on to tight. but after removing them i felt a lot better~! im sorry you had to go through that as well D: it sucks ass, did it also tingle like felt like there was bugs on your head?

Yes, there was tingling, itching and I also thought they were on too tight until I looked at the bottle and it clearly said LATEX-based, LOL. I began running fever, my eyes and mucous membranes started swelling and I wanted to rip my own hair out at the roots! My own hair is grown out now so I don't think I'll need to repeat that experiment. I don't know why they even make that latex glue stuff! It can't be good for anyone! We should sue! LOL

[sophiawho]

i hope you didnt find this out by using a latex condom? lol that would be awfullll!!

[sapphirenut]

I will let you do the math on that one. Ha ha. Yes it was dreadful, as well as the trip to the dentist where he used latex gloves! Had the same effect on that end!

Get this. Sean and I went walking Monday night and I felt chest pains and kind of an asthmatic type breathing. I'm a lazy shit so I figured it was the cold air and general exercise, but now that I look back, it was probably my allergy.

There must be a hidden ingredient that is poisonous to human beings in latex. So many people are allergic to it. That can not be a coincidence.
