Summary Of Latex Allergy

Outline of workplace latex allergy (from JADA) Latex allergy at work First, I explained the background of obvious problems of latex allergy. Natural rubber latex is extracted from milky sap of rubber tree Hevea Braziliensis. The history of latex gloves began more than a hundred years ago. The first recorded allergic reaction (allergic reaction) to natural rubber latex occurred in 1939. Due to the rapid increase in infectious diseases, the number of imported latex gloves increased from 1 million in 1987 to 8 million in 1988.

Latex allergies Children with spina bifida are at high risk of allergies to latex and are allergic to natural rubber or latex products. Latex allergy can cause rash, sneezing, itching, tearing of eyes, runny nose. It may also cause allergic reactions, potentially life-threatening conditions where facial and respiratory swelling may make breathing difficult. Therefore, it is best to use latex-free gloves and utensils during labor and when using a spina bifid. Other Complications As the spina bifida, such as urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal (GI) disease, depression, etc. get older, more problems can occur. Children with spinal meningeal anomalies may have concentration problems, learning difficulties such as difficulty in reading and mathematics acquisition.

68% of children with spina bifida are allergic to mild to life-threatening latex. Extensive use of latex in medical facilities makes it a particularly serious problem. The most common way to avoid allergies is to avoid contact with latex-containing products such as gloves, condoms, catheters, but it does not indicate latex free. Many of the spina bifida have associated cerebellar anomalies called Arnold Chiari II malformations. In affected individuals, the back of the brain moves downward from the back of the skull to the upper neck. In approximately 90% of patients with spinal meningocele, hydrocephalus also occurs because the substituted cerebellum interferes with the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid and leads to excess fluid accumulation.

The only drawback of latex glove material is latex allergy. This allergy is a skin reaction that occurs when the skin area is always in contact with rubber. Allergies are treatable and treatable, but severe allergies may cause allergic attacks if not treated. Among all other kinds of glove materials, latex provides better protection and grip. Sometimes people experience rashes called contact dermatitis, using latex gloves for a long time. Therefore, in order to avoid problems, we recommend using the best latex gloves on the market.
