You can be allergic to anything, even plastic or the dye they put into plastics.
If your feet turn red and burn or itch the first time you wear flipflops, don't wear them again.

My wife breaks out from almost all brands of band aids and latex exactly like the images shown.

6. I believe this is more like a chemical burn |
|
She tested latex gloves, and had no reaction to them. See the OP's link for more

7. It's called contact dermatitis |
|
If it had been a true chemical burn, there would be tens of thousands of people with the same reaction. There has been only one other.
This is very typical for contact dermatitis when the offending substance is kept against the skin over a long period of time.
As much as we'd all like to blame Wally's and their Chinese vendor, it's simply not the case this time. It's an allergy.
