Does this case contain latex? I'm highly allergic . . . null

Short answer: YES Long Answer: It basically does even if it doesn’t. I too have a latex allergy. Latex allergies grow with every contact. The allergy is to a specific enzyme in latex that is also in many other things like silicone, spandex, latex accelerants (think anything gummy or that bends), and even most fruits, some veggies, and spices. Even if the phone has no latex, it 100% has at minimum one of those accelerants if you can see or feel any kind of grip type material and that will actually cause your allergy to grow as you use it if you have a preexisting latex allergy.

You have to wash it when you get it though because the people packaging them are wearing latex gloves. Don’t remember where I read that. Like you probably, I’ve googled a million things trying to find out what is setting off my latex allergy.

I do not believe so. I have a contact allergy to latex and have not been affected by it. I would recommend Otterbox to find out for sure.

Not to my knowledge, I have not had problem.

I don't think so... has some type of grip feel on the side, but was not impressed.

The case is made of the following components: Synthetic rubber Polycarbonate

That would probably be a question to direct to OtterBox customer support

NO the case is not made of Latex, straight from Otterbox website itself the otterbox is made from materials below. Materials Synthetic rubber Polycarbonate
