Probably some brands use latex powder to make it easier to separate the bags, and Glad uses something else. Just a guess.
]]>My daughter has a latex allergy and can only handle touching Glad trash bags. I don’t know why other brands affect her and not Glad, but that is now the only brand we buy. She breaks out in hives within minutes of touching other trash bags.
]]>No I am experiencing this also. I went to the store. Can home and my palms and fingers are red and itchy with hives. I am allergic to laxtex. I am trying to find out if these bags contain any traces of latex . So I am going to continue to monitor it. May I suggest if you think you are allergic to something. Go see a dermatologist. I am allergic to tomatoes and cherries. Tomatoes all my life. At the age of 29 I was about to enjoy cheerrie I got from a farmers market. I started to notice it was getting hard to swallow. I went to the er. They had to give me four different medicines to react. I now a script for each. So do find what you are allergic to . As allergies can worsen. My husband is allergic to yellow bees. We have to administer two shots of the epi pen. We have 4 mins to get him to er. His organs start to swell. So please take care itcan be life saving. Good luck
]]>Hello, many thing contain Latex. I have Latex Allergy, I stated breaking out at work while using latex gloves. I am disabled. It is a very serious allergy, if any one is aware of break outs after using Latex gloves, Condoms, or notice shortness of breathe you should bring make sure your Doctor is aware of this problem. If in the future you had to have surgery or even going to the Dentist you could have a very Serious Reactions.
]]>yeah, you’re allergic to it. Also for me I find that I get little itchy blisters on the area.
]]>I’ve been in the medical field for two years. Within these two years I have developed issues with latex gloves, balloons, and anything containing the latex substance. Including but not limited to; swelling and hives of my face and hands, itching and redness, itchy watery eyes followed by swelling of my eye lids, and more. I cut out latex gloves from work, opting for, coincidentally more durable, synthetic. Recently preparing for a procedure I was speaking with my surgeon he explained the difference between a “true latex allergy” and a “latex sensativity”. He explained that with my “true latex allergy” if I even inhaled dust from a box of just opened latex gloves it could send me into anaphalixis (immediate and severe reaction; most commonly characterized by swelling of the face and throat) That was enough to change my career and every day life to pointedly avoid all things latex or rubber. “Latex sensativity” includes simliar symptoms with less severity, he explained, and is most generally the cause of most latex complaints.
]]>I work at a checkout in a supermarket three days a week, and my knuckles (after my first day) looked as though they’d been cut with razor blades. I wear fingerless gloves now and it’s healing nicely.
I think it’s a reaction to the plastic bags, as working in the chiller doesn’t bother my hands at all. I think I am slightly allergic to latex too, but I’m not sure. Does anyone else have this problem of cracked hands? It’s so painful and the cuts are surprisingly deep for a reaction. It’s like the skin just dried up superfast and me using my hands just aggrivated it.
]]>I do suspect I have a latex allergy because I am sensitive to band aids to the point I don’t wear them unless I really need one. I also work at a daycare and had much more trouble with my hands getting cracked and sore when we used the latex gloves than now that we don’t. I have the same thing with the grocery bags causing a rash on my arm. It sounds like it may not be latex from some of the comments above, but it is something and I am sure it is not sweat because it happens in a short time and I never notice any sweat (I don’t sweat easily I am usually cold) so I believe there is some kind of allergen in grocery bags. It may be the print I haven’t tested that theory. I also get an allergic reaction near the checkouts at most grocery stores (sneezing and watery itchy eyes) does that happen to anyone else? Just wondering
]]>Well I am also having issues with reaccuring yeast infections that I can’t get rid of. I was wondering if an allergy to latex is causing it???? I am doing a process of elimination, and resently I broke out with hives after caring grocery bags. Does anyone have any tips or similar issues??
