    Gerry makes a great point in his post... and it's one to think about
    if you are in a lab situation that is shared with others! You may not
    be allergic, but the person next to you might have a severe allergy.
    Latex allergy has only cropped up in the past few years, but is
    rapidly becoming a very common allergy. People who have used latex
    products for a long time with no problem can develop it suddenly and
    severely (for example, health care workers). 

    Our local hospital has banned all latex, including latex balloons,
    from the buildings. They have nitrile glove-boxes, which are
    stationed at the entry to all patient-care areas and rooms, right
    beside the foam hand-sanitizer dispensers.
