Some people are not aware of their allergy to insect stings only they found out if they are stung by the insect. First sting produces only a normal sting reaction only the second sting triggers an allergy reaction.
Allergy to latex is another of the types of allergic reactions where the person is allergic to substances made of natural latex.
