    Author: Booth B.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1996 Feb; 11(5):316, 318-9. PubMed ID: 8604427.
    Abstract:
    Incidence of latex allergy appears to be growing among health-care professionals. More research is required into prevalence and prevention strategies. Nurses should minimize their risk of sensitisation by wearing latex gloves only when necessary. Employers and the DoH need to take steps to minimise the problem.
