Few people are allergic to latex, rather more are allergic to the
powder that latex gloves are coated with. If you look, you can find
non-powdered latex which will often solve the allergy problem.

Not true in all cases I'm afraid. My wife developed an allergy to latex
proteins during her work in the lab and now hast to avoid all latex products
which makes surgery interesting.......
