For even more technical information, you can also visit the Cleveleland Clinic Foundation's Management of the Latex-Allergic Patient. This site specifically addresses what protocol hospitals and health care professionals need to follow in treating latex-allergic patients.

At http://www.immune.com/allergy/allabc.html ,there is a list of several articles about specific aspects of latex allergy; there is also a link to a page with a chart of the chemicals in latex which can cause a non-latex allergic reaction.

An interesting article about latex and food cross-reactivity can be found at http://www.pacpub.com/new/health/a-b/hm0...

The Education for Latex Allergy Support Team and Information Coalition (ELASTIC) Home Page offers a variety of latex resources, including latex allergy decals and signs for sale (for alerting medial personnel), a latex allergy checklist, and procedures for reducing the use of latex.

The most comprehensive site is simply titled, Latex Allergy Links. This page is practically an encyclopedia of latex information. The links are organized into various categories. There is also a mirror site at http://latexallergylinks.tripod.com
