Understanding the Basics of a Latex Allergy

May 21st, 2010 -- Posted in allergies | 3 Comments »

http://www.MeTheDoctor.com/allergies.htm — Understanding the Basics of a Latex Allergy

Individuals who have an allergic reaction to products which are made from latex based materials have what is known as a latex allergy.

Latex in its natural form is a liquid which is produced by rubber trees which are tropical.

The liquid is then processed and used in the manufacturing of many common products including, rubber gloves, elastic bands, balloons, condoms, rubber toys, bandages, adhesive tape and numerous other items found in households and businesses worldwide.

Allergic reactions to latex products are caused from the protein which is found in rubber and can be from mild to severe.

In a mild allergic reaction to latex the individual can experience symptoms which are very closely related to those of hay fever or seasonal allergies and include itchy watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.

It is also common for individuals who are allergic to latex to experience a rash or hives.

A severe reaction to a latex product can lead to anaphylactic shock which can be fatal and these symptoms can include breathing difficulties, vomiting, weak or rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness.

Individuals who are the most prone to latex allergies are those who work in the health care field and rubber manufacturing industry.

Individuals who have other types of allergies such as seasonal allergies and food allergies are also more apt to develop a latex allergy.

The best thing that you can do if you discover that you have a latex allergy is to remove any latex products from your environment.

There are many substitutions on the market today which are latex free that will allow you to replace any necessary items.

It is also essential that you avoid breathing in any powders such as those commonly found in latex gloves as these contain latex particles which can cause you to have a severe allergic reaction as well.

It is also essential that you wear some form of medical ID bracelet or necklace in case of an emergency so that medical professionals are aware of your latex allergy.
