Cornstarch powder in latex gloves

by | Dec 16, 2008 | Q & A | 0 comments

Question from RMM

Hi Debra:

I thought some of your readers may be interested in knowing that the presence of cornstarch powder in latex gloves can greatly increase the likelihood that one will become sensitized to latex. See this link: www.immune.com/rubber/nr3.html#latex

So if anyone uses latex gloves, they may want to purchase the unpowdered variety.
