| There's an email going around: As part of the NHS promise to battle the Covid - 19 virus, HMRC has issued a payment of £258 as a goodwill payment. Follow link to apply It then gives you a link to click on. Do not click on the link. This is a scam. |

| Just received an email purporting to be from Paypal. I checked with my Paypal account and there's nothing in it. Wonder what would have happened if I had clicked on that link. | |

| That is disgusting Christine. Are you a member of a union? If not, I should consult a solicitor and sue for wrongful dismissal. It might also be useful to contact the Anaphylaxis Campaign. https://www.anaphylaxis.org.uk/ |

| I am a Nurse working in the Custody setting and recently diagnosed with Type 1 Latex allergy following an anaphylactic reaction at work . It is assumed it was due to inhaled protein when a refurb was under way . I also get reactions to a lesser degree from direct contact with latex /natural rubber . This is all new to me and I trying to navigate my way through things I need to avoid . Work made some adjustments to accommodate but unfortunately people still brought items into my work space that caused a reaction . I am now not allowed to return to work and I think from the tone of letters they are looking to dismiss me . Anyone got any information that could help or been dismissed due an allergy . I can’t afford not to work . |

| 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. | |
