So, here I am on a Thursday night recovering for an allergy attack of the strangest sort.  I have recently found out that I am allergic to latex.  Of course, I found out the hard way.  A week ago I had a table leaf from our dining room table fall and strike the back of my left ankle.  It really looked worse that it was and it did tak off a bunch of skin (gross, I know).

So anyway, for the past week I've been a good friend with Neosporin, gauze, and medical tape.  As it has healed and I have moved to bandaids, I noticed some issues. My foot began to swell around the area of the bandage, achy, and mild discomfort.  Ironically when the bandaid was off...no problems.

I kept thinking...is the bandaid too tight, is there an infections...yada yada yada.  So while at the local Walgreens I thought I'd ask.  Low and behold, there are cloth type bandaids for people who are allergic to latex.  After some research in the store, I was able to get what I needed and head home.

A little ice pack to reduce the swelling, a couple hours without anything on it at all, and now I sit here typing with a cloth bandaid and Neosporin on my ankle and I'm feeling no pain.

Awesomeness!!!

Anyone else have this issue?
