My little brother (22) called me today to ask me some questions about my latex allergy, as he's pretty sure he's developing one, too.
I know the reason he called was to find out if that means he's also allergic to condoms. I know the answer to his question.
And I wouldn't give him the answer because he was too embarrassed to ask me directly.
Evil, evil, evil!
Re: I'm so mean!
Mua-ha-ha-ha!
The answers are on the Internet, too, so it's not like he can't find them if he looks. And he's going to the doc soon to get tested, so they'll tell him then, too. I did say, "There are non-latex versions of pretty much everything."
You're funny. Maybe it's different b/c my lil sib's and I are pretty close.
My lil bro calls me with similar questions all the time. "Sis, I have this lump on my tongue. I'll send you a text with a pic of it now." ICK!!!
I'm just glad he's coming to me for this crap, and not listening to his likely-ignorant friends.
I go through this same thing EVERY TIME. You have to be soooo vigilant, it's annoying. It says all over my chart "no latex," I tell them verbally every single time, and more than half the time I catch them wearing latex gloves.
