Can my daughter have a hives reaction just by being near latex ?
My daughter, a nurse, has had hives for 6 months. It started after she discovered to latex, and now uses latex free gloves. Can she have a reaction just by being near latex? If she were allergic to penicillin, could the hives be caused by distributing penicillin? She is taking claritin and tagamet, which is not working. She sees an allergist in two weeks.

no only on coming contact with latex rubber she will develope hives not near to it. similarly if she is hypersensitive to penicillin then only on entering to systemic route she will develope it not by distributing it.only way is avoid these allergens.
