Allergies

Why do some individuals experience allergic reactions after visits to doctors and dentists?

Some individuals are allergic to latex, a component of most rubber gloves. They may experience skin rashes, hives, eye tearing and irritation, wheezing, and itching of the skin when exposed to latex. The best therapy for latex allergy is to avoid products containing latex. Therefore, it is important to notify health care providers if you suffer from latex allergy so they may use non-latex products.
