 "Around half of all people with latex allergy have
allergic reactions when eating particular foods,
including avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwifruit,
passionfruit, plum, strawberry and tomato. This is
because some of the proteins in latex that cause latex
allergy are also present in these fruits. (A person
who is allergic to the manufacturing chemicals in
latex will not have allergic reactions to these
foods.) Common symptoms include tingling in the mouth,
stuffy nose, itchy eyes and wheezing."

I've been developing a sensitivity to latex for
several years.  It started as a cross reaction when I
did small animal research and has now been progressing
to it's own special reaction.  :-( I can't even use
"The Keeper" anymore and need to find out if a
silocone variety exists.
