Latex Allergies and Medical Equipment: Anyone Else Feel Weird?

I found out coming home with my children from a bday party they were sent home with balloons and had to pull over the car and quick get out. Traded cars with my husband he drove the car with the balloons in it and i drove the car with all our weeked away gear so i could continue breathing.

I found out that I have latex allergies many moons ago...my daughter let the air out of a balloon in my face..bout 30 minutes later I was rush to the ER😥...I didn't know what it was back then...

I triple check every single appointment even if I have been with the same Drs or hospital for years

I'm allergic to oranges, latex and i feel like im Burden and reluctant to speak up that i absolutely CAN NOT be exposed. My throat swells shut and people still "forget" and i feel unwanted, shunned unloved

So true! Even if it’s in your file they just automatically go for the latex stuff and act annoyed when you correct them.
