I have this

I'm surpised there would be an article about it.--Hailey 18:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Other forms of latex allergy?

Are there any other forms of latex allergy, besides Type 1 and Type IV? It seems like there should be at least two more. Gary 20:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "Type I" and "Type IV" come from the known types of hypersensitivity. Latex does not cause type II and III allergies. That said I'm thinking that this article should link more obviously to the article on hypersensitivity to make that more clear, but I'm not sure where to put the link.--Sammka 04:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a sentence to the Types section to clarify this. --Una Smith (talk) 22:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does swelling of areas touched by latex fall under? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.103.20 (talk) 00:16, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

Contact dermatitis, type IV. --Una Smith (talk) 22:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page Needs Fixing

Good grief this article is in need of massive editing, medical notes okay - but the speculative hearsay of who is likely to have the allergy and the percentage is NOT131.111.8.96 (talk) 20:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
