Latex allergy getting severe fast.Doc not taking me seriously.Second opion or just suck it up?

I totally feel for you. I have a lot of contact allergies (among others) and I agree with you, definitely go for that second opinion! Latex (contact) allergies can vary in severity, and you sound like you experienced the more severe topical variety. I have had anaphylactic reactions before and from your description you did not experience anaphylaxis (that would involve the closing of your throat and have you struggling for breath). What you are going through is severe nonetheless and requires some form of treatment, maybe short burst corticosteroid therapy or something else. You need to know the difference between complete anaphylaxis and severe topical allergic reactions. My best suggestion is that you go see an allergist, he or she will be the one to properly diagnose, test and treat you for your latex allergy. In the meantime, your workplace should be willing to accomodate you, I don't understand why they are so uncooperative. Perhaps if you have a note from a qualified allergist stating that you are not allowed to work with latex products it will make a difference. If not, you will have to make a choice based on the frequency and severity of your symptoms. Hope this helps. Good luck!
