    Allergic to Erasers?

    Ever since middle school I've noticed that whenever I'm taking a math test I start sneezing, runny nose, generic cold/allergy symptoms. It seems to clear up soon after I leave the room.

    Since I doubt I'm allergic to math or tests I am guessing it might be the eraser shavings from students erasing alot and blowing the little rubber chunks all over. Anybody ever heard of being allergic to rubber or vinyl or whatever they are made of. Any ideas what it could be??

      or graphite, or paper shavings, or just dust in general.

        Are you allergic to latex?

        "All eraser products are latex-free EXCEPT Arrowhead Cap Erasers, Design Kneaded Rubber Eraser, Union Eraser, Pink Pearl Eraser, Pink Pet, Paper Mate Eraser Mate, Paper Mate Eraser Max "

        All natural rubber products start as latex, so that might be why you're getting these symptoms...

            It's definately a sign of weakness.

              Probably just the stress part of it. Your body always does weird stuff during astressful situation...
