Question from Maureen Anderson
I have been using Talalay Latex pillows for a few months and am considering purchasing a natural latex mattress. I have MCS and worry about developing a latex sensitivity, which can be very serious if one needs surgery. What I find on the internet indicates that it is the protein in natural rubber that is the culprit. Would these pillows and mattresses not be dangerous, especially to someone as sensitive and allergy-prone as I am?
Debra’s Answer
I’m going to let others answer this question. I know a lot of people with MCS sleep on latex mattresses with no problems, but I personally would not. Readers, what advice have you?
