Adhesive Sensitivity=Latex Allergy?

I’ve always been sen­si­tive to adhe­sives. I have to request paper tape instead of the nor­mal stuff used in med­ical facil­i­ties, and I try to avoid Band-aids. Sun­day morn­ing a nurse said, “Well why did­n’t you tell us you had a latex allergy?”

Huh?

I did a lit­tle research today based on what she told me, and yep, latex is almost cer­tain­ly what I’m react­ing to in those adhe­sives. Weird.
