The difference is mainly due to differences in processing conditions involved in the manufacturing of the various products. Your readers should know that today, the allergy prevalence has greatly decreased among healthcare workers, largely due to the availability of improved latex gloves which have vastly reduced protein content and hence low risk to allergy, as pointed out by a number of renown allergy researchers in the U.S. Please visit www.latexglove.info for more information. It may also be noted that latex protein allergy is a Type I hypersensitivity, which can be caused by proteins from many other sources, such as peanuts, avocado, water melon, banana, some seafoods, bee-stings etc. Latex protein is a more recent addition to the list. Many studies have also shown that for one to be sensitized to latex protein, one of the important determining factors is not just exposure, but exposure of persons who are genetically predisposed.
