Yes!!! The previous answer is absolutely wrong. If you cut an Aloe leaf at the base, a dark, yellowish liquid will seep out. There are two substances from aloe vera, the clear gel, and the yellow latex. When harvesting Aloe, especially if you are allergic to latex - you need to stand the leave on a paper towel for 15-30 minutes, to allow the latex to seep out. The larger the leaves, the longer to seep out. But there definitely IS latex in Aloe.

No Aloe vera does not contain latex, rather it has plenty of mucilage in its fleshy leaves.
