No, there is not. However most people with latex Allergies have other allergies as well, and can cross react. Spandex is a man made fiber, where as latex is a natural rubber substance. Latex is stronger and more elastic and of course since it is natural is easier to come by. I have heard some people with a latex allergy state they can only wear up to a certain percentage of spandex in their clothing. My theroy is better be safe than sorry

Spandex, or lycra, is a synthetic fabric with a polymer base, like nylon or polyester. Unlike many other synthetic fabrics, spandex is a polyurethane, and it is this fact that is responsible for the fabric's peculiarly elastic qualities.

Can you be allergic to spandex?
yes! some people are only allergic to rubber (elastic, latex, spandex) which has been bleached or treated with rubber accelerators. Other people are allergic to latex, spandex, tires, pencil erasers, tennis balls, condoms, hairbrushes. They put rubber everywhere! Take it from me, I have a TRUE latex allergy. with a true latex allergy, an exposure leads to at least three weeks of contact dermatitis. For someone with this allergy, that includes spandex in jeans (which is bad because it is treated with lots of the rubber accelerator which is sometimes the real allergy)
