The Natural Rubber Latex Allergy mailing list discusses all aspects of this allergy, from research and diagnosis to treatment, support, and economics surrounding natural rubber latex allergy. Families and friends are also welcome!

Three warnings about Natural Rubber Latex Allergy harm:

1. Latex allergy results directly from repeated exposure to natural rubber latex, and generally worsens progressively with additional exposures to natural rubber latex.
2. After one develops "Type IV" allergy, the dermatitis caused by a "Type IV" reaction can, with repeated exposure to natural rubber latex, contribute to the development of the more severe and life-threatening "Type I" latex allergy. Having both "Type IV" and "Type I" natural rubber latex allergy is both possible and worse than either type of allergy alone.
3. After you are sensitized to latex, you have latex allergy, and the safest way to minimize/prevent worsening natural rubber allergic symptoms is to avoid all exposure to natural rubber latex.

Anything that causes an already latex allergic person to be once again exposed to additional natural rubber latex is not just delaying that patient's recovery, but may also cause additional, serious, progressive harm.
