Latex Allergy
Avoidance is the only real treatment for latex allergy -- stay away from latex as much as possible; especially stay away from balloons, which put latex molecules into the air as they are inflated, as they deflate, and when they POP!

Dr. Peterson is a kind and gentle and skilled dentist who has NO LATEX GLOVES!!

Plastibands, Sanford erasers,

Latex allergy guidelines for food -- don't handle/prepare food wearing latex gloves; don't handle dishes with latex gloves; don't bring balloons into room or near me.
Related food allergies -- I must avoid these: potatos, kiwi, bananas, avocados, chestnuts. Some can’t have strawberries.
Alert:
Some who are allergic to latex are also allergic to aloe vera, which is now commonly added to soap, lotions, shampoos, and other personal care products.
