Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML

Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML

Today, I discovered I'm allergic to the new perfume I bought and now I smell like a hospital. FML
Why
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML

it's no biggy. just show your medical note to the lab head or the head of your school and they will arrange for nitrile gloves or some other latex free gloves to be available for you.

So what? Don't you know about nitrile gloves? They're the purple ones, and most hospitals use those anyways just in case a patient is allergic.

Nitrile gloves? Latex ones suck anyway.

Damn! You're just one year away from having a social (and sex) life, when you find out you can't use most condoms.

Well I guess you will get used to riding in the waaaaaaambulance then. Seriously latex allergies are so common that every clinic and school and hospital has a latex free option.
