This milky fluid (produced by rubber trees) is processed and manufactured into a variety of products. Those suffering from latex reactions have allergies triggered by dipped latex products.

Products that commonly cause reactions include gloves, balloons and condoms; although some individuals maybe suffer from reactions to rubber bands, erasers, rubber parts of toys, certain medical devices, latex clothing and elastic, feeding nipples and pacifiers. (Most latex paints are not a problem, since they do not contain natural latex.)
