If you have a latex allergy you may have a cross reaction to certain fruits. The type of fruits that contain similar proteins to latex include avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, melon, plums, strawberries and tomatoes. It may be that you are able to continue eating these foods with no symptoms however it is important to be aware of the possibility that, as part of this cross reactivity, you may develop an itchy and/or swollen mouth or throat. What should I do if I suspect I have a latex allergy? This form of latex allergy has the potential to cause the most severe form of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) At a national and local level, a policy that encourages switching from powdered latex gloves to powder-free, low-protein latex gloves is a proven effective method of reducing the incidence of latex allergy There are several types of synthetic rubber materials used instead of natural rubber latex for protective gloves. PVC gloves are widely available and safe. If you have been advised to carry non-latex gloves for use in an emergency, it is sensible to carry a large size. Suitable gloves are Ansell Dermoprene, Elastryren, Johnson & Johnson Allergard, Neolon Latex allergy is less common now than it was in the 1990s when natural latex allergy was a common cause of allergic reactions, affecting healthcare workers and other occupations where there was exposure to latex gloves and other products containing latex rubber, as part of the job. Since latex and powder free gloves and other latex free products are now widely available, the amount of people with latex allergy has been reduced. What is natural rubber latex and how is it used?
The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide. In 2008, the NHS Plus Occupational Health Clinical Effectiveness Unit, in association with the Royal College of Physicians, produced evidence based guidelines for the occupational aspects of latex allergy management. If you are highly allergic to latex, it may be worth carrying a set of sterile latex-free gloves, especially if you are travelling away from home. Hospitals and doctors in the UK are becoming more aware of latex allergy, but unfortunately the same may not be true of healthcare abroad. Once the diagnosis of allergy to natural rubber latex has been confirmed avoidance is the key to preventing exposure and further reactions. Letting other people know you have a latex allergy is important, including your employer, if you are at risk, through your job, of exposure to latex. You should also tell any Healthcare/ beauty/hairdressing provider that they will need to avoid latex gloves and equipment containing latex. If you have been prescribed allergy medication it is important that you can recognise allergy signs and symptoms and know how and when to use your medication and/or adrenaline auto injector device. If you do need to use emergency allergy medication (your adrenaline auto injector) then an ambulance should be called immediately to ensure that skilled medical help and access to any further medication is on its way. Employers should carefully consider the risks when selecting gloves for use in the health and social care sector. HSE has provided specific guidance on selecting latex gloves and recommends following HSE's glove selection guidance when considering glove use in the workplace (latex or otherwise), Further informationto finish with a shafred (system-wide) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in /usr/local/bin. Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation? In employees who are latex allergic/sensitised, taking latex avoidance measures results in symptoms reducing or disappearing As the use of such products has increased, particularly of single-use latex gloves in infection control, NRL allergy and sensitisation has been identified as a problem. What is the problem? Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a milky fluid obtained from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, which is widely grown in south-east Asia. As with many other natural products, NRL contains proteins to which some individuals may develop an allergy.
The use of powder-free, low-protein latex gloves as an alternative to powdered latex gloves significantly reduces the incidence of latex allergy and latex-induced asthma, as well as the prevalence of latex-related symptoms. Powdered latex gloves should therefore not be used in the workplace
Single-use disposable gloves. The use of gloves as part of infection control within healthcare rose exponentially during the 1990s. There are a number of different types of gloves available. All single-use latex gloves may present a particular risk of latex allergies but the risk is reduced in gloves with lower levels of latex proteins. Latex is found in many products used in healthcare. These products are often for single patient use, for example disposable gloves or equipment. The use and availability of powdered latex gloves has reduced due to an increased awareness of latex allergy. Now alternative materials are used, such as nitrile, to provide safe alternatives to those with a natural rubber latex allergy. Gloves containing powder (used as a lubricant) can be a problem for those with a latex allergy or asthma as it is possible for latex protein to become airborne when the gloves are removed, releasing particles into the air which can cause allergic symptoms.
All but the most severe cases of latex allergy and latex-induced asthma can be managed without the need for redeployment, ill-health retirement or termination of employment. Adjustments include careful personal avoidance of latex at work and minor changes in the workplace Breathing problems such as cough, wheeze or difficulty in breathing as a result of breathing in latex protein that becomes airborne (from balloons and rubber gloves) using low-protein, powder-free, single-use latex gloves in the workplace is unlikely to lead to new cases of latex allergyYour doctor or allergy specialist will carry out an individual risk assessment to help decide on what medication, if any, is needed to manage your allergy. For mild to moderate reactions your doctor may advise using an antihistamine medication and will decide whether you should carry emergency medication (adrenaline) to treat a severe allergic reaction. If you are prescribed an adrenaline auto injector it is important that you are able to recognise the signs and symptoms of a severe allergic reaction. It is also important that you are shown how to use your adrenaline auto injector and have been given an allergy action plan (a detailed plan of the symptoms of an allergic reaction and medication needed). Alternative choices of latex free products: The majority of healthcare products containing NRL are 'medical devices' as defined by the Medical Devices Regulations 1999. Therefore, their manufacture and provision are regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Recent research In employees with latex-induced asthma or rhinitis, the use of powder-free, low-protein gloves by colleagues reduces symptoms and indices of severity in the affected employee to a similar degree as the use of non-latex gloves by colleagues to finish with a private (for you only) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in ~/bin.
