I have a latex allergy. I struggled with finding bands specifically latex free. Be careful read everything become many products claim it’s latex free and it’s not. You can’t find latex free beds, it’s a struggle for us sufferers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bumped into Oops causing risks for me at offices if you follow me. You hear about Peanut allergies but do you hear anything about us who suffer from latex? Anyhow, I love my bands. My children are also allergic to latex so I had to trust someone to smell the product. Previous products I purchased from Wal-Mart claimed there’s no latex but it sure is latex. The handles are full of latex, the bands ARE LATEX! You can smell the latex. Bananas are full of latex! Wal-Mart’s products that states their latex free are Bananas! However, I’m Bananas over my bands simply because I can safely work with my physical therapist ?. Thank you, I am no longer frustrated unless I find out that I am exposing myself with latex again! My reaction to Latex itching, dry skin on affected area, swelling and redness. I also experienced numbness in the area.
