Man, that sounds really annoying.

Anyway, I'm allergic to some kind of rubber. I'm not sure which kind, but I've gotten hives from certain pool animals and swimming rings. Luckily it doesn't happen that often, but I still tend to not be in contact with pool animals/swimming rings for longer than maybe 5-10 minutes, just to be sure.
