	NIOSH/latex alert
		The amount of latex exposure needed to produce sensitization or an allergic reaction is unknown; however, reductions in exposure to latex proteins have been reported to be associated with decreased sensitization and symptoms [Tarlo et al.
		Latex allergy should be suspected in anyone who develops certain symptoms after latex exposure, including nasal, eye, or sinus irritation; hives; shortness of breath; coughing; wheezing; or unexplained shock.
		Latex allergy in the workplace can result in potentially serious health problems for workers, who are often unaware of the risk of latex exposure.

	LATEX ALLERGY
		Latex is used in the medical literature as a description of either the sap of the Brazilian rubber tree (Hervea brasiliensis) or to products made by dipping forms into the sap (gloves, balloons, condoms).
		Those subjects who were latex positive had significantly greater history of bronchial asthma, reported significantly more symptoms when using latex gloves (urticaria, rash, itching, sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy watery eyes and cough), and were significantly more likely to test positive for common allergens (pollen, cat epidermis and dust mites).
		Frequency of exposure to latex thus raised the likelihood of sensitisation 19-fold (from 0.37% to 6.85%) in nonatopic subjects and 4-fold (from 9.44% to 36.4 %) in atopic subjects.

	Latex allergy
		Latex allergy is a reaction to certain proteins found in natural rubber latex, a product manufactured from a milky fluid derived from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) found in Africa and Southeast Asia.
		Latex allergy may cause allergic reactions ranging from sneezing or a runny nose to anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition.
		Latex is one of the most effective barriers available to prevent the spread of HIV and hepatitis B. As a result, there's been a marked increase in the use of latex gloves.

		LaTeX ignores all spaces in the math environment (although you may need to include spaces to signal the end of a command that begins with a backslash).
		LaTeX is a program that takes a lot of memory to run, that is, the amount of swap space the workstation uses, not the amount of disk space allotted to the user (quota).

	AAAAI - Patients & Consumers Center: Tips to Remember: Latex allergy
		Latex allergy appears to have originated from an increased use of latex gloves over the past decade due to infection precaution policies that have been instituted at health care facilities, and changes in processes used to manufacture latex products.
		In rare instances, people who are allergic to latex may also react to rubber bands, erasers, rubber parts of toys, various rubber components in medical devices, rubber elastic in clothes, or feeding nipples and pacifiers.
		As powdered latex gloves are used, the starch particles and latex allergens become airborne, where they can be inhaled or come into contact with the nose or eyes and cause symptoms.

	InteliHealth:
		A latex allergy is a hypersensitivity to latex, which is a natural substance made of the milky sap of the rubber tree.
		With latex allergies, that means using gloves not made of latex for dishwashing or other chores, refraining from blowing up balloons, avoiding rubber bands and using condoms made of materials other than latex.
		Because latex gloves that are powdered with cornstarch appear to cause the most problems, using gloves that are not powdered may help to prevent reactions.
