" When it first happened, I could't even touch latex bandages or my hands swell up 3 fold. It was really really bad in the begining and then it calmed down quite a bit. So, hang in there it will calm down so you can touch rubber bands and bandages. A lot of people I know that have had the problem start bad and then it calms down. "
