Latex protein allergy and your choice of gloves: a balanced consideration.
Natural rubber gloves have been acknowledged as the best protective devices available for protecting health care personnel and their patients against viral transmission and infectious fluids. Yet, with the adoption of standard safety precautions and the increase in the use of gloves, an increasing number of people are being affected with latex allergy.

The relationship between natural rubber gloves and latex protein allergy needs to be better understood in order for health care professionals to make an informed choice in their selection of gloves.
