Is it possible to DEVELOP an allergy to latex?
Lately, I've been getting a rash around my chest where my bra strap goes around my body.
It's rather uncomfortable.
And no, I can't go braless..... if these things get loose they're likely to hurt someone.
(edit spelling)

2. Yeah, you can develop a latex allergy |

I have a friend who recently did. She had to start buying latex-free band-aids, etc. At least there are lots of things on the market now.

Yes, entirely possible. Allergic reactions tend to get worse with each exposure. I am a nurse and see this in my fellow nurses all the time.
