| Be very careful when around balloons Christine, my wife went into anaphylaxis in the City Hospital, Nottingham after walking into a room with a display of balloons. Balloons are coated with a powder to stop the latex sticking and the powder can become airborne and it carries the protein that causes the problem which becomes attached to the powder. | |

| There was an item on BBC news this morning regarding the Emerade epi pens made by Bausch + Lomb. Some of them are failing to fire. If you have one of these please be aware. | |

| I had a bad reaction to eye lash glue . There are latex free ones out there now but I won’t be trying them because I don’t really trust the term Latex Free . | |

| Hi . I have recently been diagnosed with Type 1 latex allergy following skin prick testing after having an anaphylactic reaction. It is a learning curve for me but I am not sure how I will react if around ballon displays ie in shops . Or wether it is just if I touch them ? Got another allergy appointment coming up at Broomfield Hospital and so many questions. | |

| It's always been a problem Vivian. Many manufacturers have no idea about latex. Paint manufacturers refer to latex as something entirely different. When we first opened the forum many doctors had never heard of latex allergy. Fortunately, most hospitals now no longer use latex. | |

| Nearby I have undiagnosed latex allergy. Only skin contact so far but a bit paranoid about it moving up the scale. Thought I might pick up some tips or advice here. Fed up with trying to contact sellers to find out if "rubber" means latex or silicone, and generally finding that whereas everyone knows about nut allergies, latex allergy meets with scorn or incomprehension! |

| Just had an email purporting to be from Tesco offering £800 if you click on a link.. I brief investigation confirms that it is not from Tesco but is a scam. | |
