Is it okay to wear latex shirts to high school?

Question

I'm a male junior. I want to wear latex polos to school, but I'm not sure if I'd get in trouble or not. Could I like, cause somebody to have an allergic reaction or something?

Answer 1

Lol sorry i had to laugh at the additional details...

Well it's an interesting style-but hey, who am I to judge? Wear whatever you want, its your life, your style.

I am concerned about the allergic reaction, I know a number of people who get seerious allergic reactions to latex. Ask around, and see if anyone is allergic. Even if no one is, still i wouldn't wear it just in case some one is. You never know, one of the teachers might be allergic!



EDIT:

I got this from this site: http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/latex-allergies?page=1



Routes of latex exposure include:



Through the skin, as occurs when latex gloves are worn.

Through mucous membranes, such as the eyes, mouth.

Through inhalation. Rubber gloves contain a powder that can be inhaled. (though i don't think your shirt has powder?)

Through the blood, as may occur when some medical devices containing rubber are used.



What Happens During a Latex Reaction?



There are three types of latex reactions:



Irritant contact dermatitis. The least threatening type of latex reaction, classified as a non-allergenic skin reaction. It usually occurs as a result of repeated exposure to chemicals in latex gloves and results in dryness, itching, burning, scaling, and lesions of the skin.



Allergic contact dermatitis. A delayed reaction to additives used in latex processing, which results in the same type of reactions as irritant contact dermatitis (dryness, itching, burning, scaling, and lesions of the skin), but the reaction is more severe, spreads to more parts of the body and lasts longer.



Immediate allergic reaction (latex hypersensitivity). The most serious reaction to latex. It can show up as rhinitis with hay fever-like symptoms, conjunctivitis (pink eye), cramps, hives, and severe itching. It is rare, but symptoms may progress to include rapid heartbeat, tremors, chest pain, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, anaphylactic shock, or potentially, death.



But that is probably really rare for someone to have the immediate allergic reaction. Most will probably have the Irritant contact one.

the first two are great. people wear stuff like that all the time. the third is a little dressy for high school. but you might find out people wear that where you're going. don't stress out about high school. once you get there you realize its just like middle school, only we get cars

Answer 3

Yes you can. I wore some latex to school.
