An allergic reaction to latex can happen immediately after coming in contact with a latex product. I'm not sure from your question what the actual problem is, but wanted to inform you that latex allergies can develop quickly and do worsen with each exposure. Please rule out latex allergy as soon as possible since it can cause anaphylaxis and even death.
