Here is a real good web site for latex allergies.  This is something I am
real concerned about and it seems like the medical profession is hiding its
head in the sand.  There are a few hospitals going latex free and that is a
start.  But the problems with latex allergy is that most people think
allergy means just a minor problem.  Whereas we are looking at deaths.
Hope this web site helps.
