How Do Condoms Cause Latex Allergies?

It is thought that the proteins in the liquid extracted from the rubber tree cause latex allergy.

It seems as if latex allergies do develop in part from repeated exposure to latex, and so how many people have latex allergies depends on if you’re counting people who are regularly exposed to latex (like health care workers). In the general population the rates of latex allergies are estimated to be between 1% to 6%. Between 8% to 12% of regularly exposed health care workers have latex allergies.

Some people may be more likely to have a latex allergy. For example people who live with spina bifida are up to 70% more likely to have an allergy to natural latex. Again, it’s suspected that this may have to do with having increased exposure to latex particularly as a child through surgeries. If it’s true that exposure increases risk, people who regularly use latex condoms may be more likely to react to latex.
