Treating Latex Allergy
The most effective way to prevent latex allergy is to avoid latex completely.
A primary step in avoidance is awareness.Household and medical items that are made of latex (natural rubber, not synthetic rubber), should be removed from the home and medical environment.
People who are at risk of latex allergy or have had a reaction should inform all medical and other community professionals with whom they interact, so they can remove latex products from the environment.
Physicians and surgeons need to understand the importance of maintaining latex-free areas because latex proteins from latex gloves escape into the air and enter the body membranes through respiration.
