The clinical symptoms of NRL allergy usually arise from direct contact with a NRL product but may also result from inhalation of airborne allergens bound to e.g. glove powder. The most frequently reported manifestation is contact urticaria, followed by rhino-conjunctivitis (Table 2). Mucosal swelling is a typical symptom after oral, vaginal or rectal exposure to NRL products, such as balloons, gloves and condoms. The systemic reactions consist of generalized urticaria.
