Has a prick test been done to establish true latex allergy? One study came
up with the result that many of those assumed to be allergic to natural
rubber latex were actually suffering from either an irritant reaction (due
to occlusion) or a type IV allergic contact dermatitis?
If the diagnosis is correct then there are ways to handle this. To put all
the possibilities on an e-mail would make this very lengthy indeed. If you
would like to phone me perhaps I can then help.
