I live in a small town and so far I can eat at any restaurant here except Chicken Express. But when I go to a city, it is almost impossible to find a restaurant that does not use latex gloves in the kitchen. I knew I had a latex problem but kept having problems when I had not gone to the doctor. At a restaurant my throat starting closing up and my ears swelling inside and the hives and sun burn feeling. I came very close to calling for emergency help, but I made it without it, afterall they would have had latex stuff with them. I take my picture with me now to the doctor's office of my arm after the last time I had my blood pressure checked. It is the only way I can really prove to the medical staff that I don't have just a little itch. I carry a epi pen, but I have a serious heart condition and the doctor says I might not survive the latex exposure, but I may not survive the epi pen either. I do not work in the medical field, but I've had 12 heart caths and by-pass surgery and multiple nuclear stress tests since 1999.
