Latex Allergy? You can find information about latex allergy treatments in this latex allergy article.

A latex allergy is your body's negative response to certain proteins in latex rubber. This type of rubber is not the same as synthetic rubber. It is the product manufactured from a milky fluid derived from the rubber tree. Common latex allergy symptoms include hives, asthma, flushing, and skin rash. Although you can take certain medications to treat these symptoms, complete latex avoidance is the most effective approach.
