I'm considering a cpap but I have a severe latex allergy. Would this be a problem?

NO
Latex allergies have been an issue for long enough that the use of latex is almost non-existent in most situations--
ESPECIALLY CPAP. Note the label "LATEX FREE" on masks, hoses, etc.
Medical personnel commonly use gloves made of vinyl or nitrile to avoid allergies.

Good to know! Sometimes I have an irritation on my skin after using household gloves.
I've spend the whole day plating here online with free spins. It was great!
