Hi,
I have seen those balloons.  They are neat, but I think there are better
teaching tools out there.  I try not to harp on the subject too much,
but...The numbers of people with a latex allergy are increasing.  I have
seen estimates of up to 10% in the general (non healthcare workers)
population.  I would never use a latex balloon in a class situation.
There is a chance of having an allergic person in the room, as well as
increasing exposure for those who aren't allergic.
Thanks,
