Shoot, a lot of my doctors, nurses, dentists don’t even ask about latex—they leave it up to you to tell them, and if you forget to they just go to work on you with a kind of reckless abandon. So I wear an allergy bracelet and have a copy of all my allergies, esp. latex to hand directly to the person. I also carry a copy around with me so if I am rendered incapable of communication, hopefully they will follow the directions.
