What Causes Latex Allergy?
For reasons not yet clearly understood, some individuals can become allergic to certain constituents of the latex molecule. Once allergic, you may remain sensitive for the rest of your life. Growth in the latex allergy problem has been related to the rising demand and use for latex products. The onset of recommendations for universal precautions resulted in increased use of latex gloves – to meet the increased demand, manufacturing processes may have changed resulting in a more highly allergic product.
