: Yes, most likely you are allergic to the starch they use on latex gloves.

Thanks for the info Tony.

I had a fairly severe reaction to the latex gloves (bad rash and breathing difficulties). I assumed it was the latex and have found a pair of thin cotton gloves that I was planning on wearing under the latex ones to minimize my contact with them. If it is the starch that I had a problem with, it will probably not help much. If I still have problems, I'll go looking for the powder free ones (haven't seen any yet).

And to think I was afraid of getting epoxy on me
