On the other side if you have an allergy to these foods you can predispose yourself to a Latex allergy by also exposing yourself to Latex while you are aware of your allergy to these certain foods. Experts are not quite sure why this occurs and no cure yet although Italy is performing desensitization with some great results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798368475920876945.post-83651994035920140572011-08-24T22:58:02.842-04:002011-08-24T22:58:02.842-04:00Kate, I have been looking but I can not find the l...Kate, I have been looking but I can not find the link for the latex free balls.

That's what happened to me-ragweed as a child developed into a banana/advocado allergy as a teen-which turned into a Latex allergy as an adult.
