I have a life-threatening allergy to latex, seriously. Being around latex gives me an asthma attack. Wearing a glove could put me in your daughter's position in the ER. With that, comes a host of other allergies to plants and foods similar to latex in some way: bananas, kiwis, avocados, etc. And, of all things, birthday party balloons. I blew one up once, and my tongue and whole face swelled, I ended up in the ER.

I don't see latex being banned.

Lysol spray and Windex give me migraines if I smell either for more than a few seconds. I'm not real big on perfumes of any sort. I don't see any of 'em being banned. Sometimes I wish perfume-wearers would consider others before dousing themselves, but I don't make a big deal about it.
