Can Latex Suction Cups Trigger An Allergic Reaction In A Child?
My son is very allergic to latex. Several years ago he had a severe reaction to latex gloves, used to change his diaper, and children were also playing with a latex ball. Had difficulty breathing, 911 was called by teacher and taken to the ER. No problems since. I just bought a bath chair that lowers into the bath tub, and it has latex suction cups. Will this trigger a reaction?
