From the lens Latex Allergy Information.

    I have had a severe Latex Allergy since the late 1980's. It is a nasty allergy that effects people on an every day basis. I can't even weed my garden. I was the case study in my hometown that launched all hospitals to become Latex free. I arrested while in hospital.
    I was a critical Care Rn. My health was so rotten it took many yrs after quitting my job for me to become functional. I still have serious reactions and avoid many places. Good luck to any diagnosed. The one nice thing is latex allergies are better recongnized now. Back in the 80's the docs did not have a clue what was wrong with me....and I remained in my unhealthy workplace for 6 yrs. I lived on prednisone.

    I have a former co-worker who is relatively home bound due to this allergy. Very important information.

    Great Lens. I try to avoid latex after I started breaking out from using the gloves when I was away at school due to working in the cafeteria. My arms used to turn red because of it.
