This book was released on 2012 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Latex products are made from natural rubber, and sensitivity can develop after repeated exposure. Limiting exposure to latex can help prevent allergic reactions for both home healthcare workers and their clients. Three types of reactions can occur when using latex products: 1) Irritant Contact Dermatitis This is the most common negative reaction to latex. Symptoms include dry, itchy, irritated skin - most often on the hands. 2) Allergic Contact Dermatitis (delayed hypersensitivity) This skin reaction looks like the rash from contact with poison ivy and usually shows up 24-96 hours after contact. 3) Latex Allergy (immediate hypersensitivity) This type of reaction usually happens within minutes of exposure, but symptoms can also show up a few hours later. Symptoms of a mild reaction are skin redness, hives, or itching. Symptoms of more serious reactions might include runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, scratchy throat, wheezing, coughing, or difficulty with breathing. Rarely, shock may occur, but a life-threatening reaction is seldom the first sign of sensitivity. A latex-exposed worker developing any serious allergic reactions should be taken to a doctor immediately." - NIOSHTIC-2
