Find out WHY latex is a hazard in the environment?

Virtually everything I pick up "may contain nuts" and it is so difficult to watch him upset everytime he goes to a party and can't eat (other than what I've packed him) and can't go into a sweet shop because all cadbury's chocolate may contain nuts. He nearly died 2 months ago because his school gave him a biscuit as a reward for being good, knowing that he was allergic, I nearly lost my only son through negligence. A lesson that has taught both of us to read every label before eating. I know to some this might seem NOT MY PROBLEM, but considering it is estimated that 1 in 100 children now have a nut allergy due to over processing of foods by food manufacturers and many adults developing nut allergies in later life it may eventually affect many more people.<BR/><BR/>Latex allergies although much rarer may seem ridiculous, but in this day and age where pollution is rife and we are becoming allergic to packaging as well as everything else sometimes these measures can help someone.<BR/><BR/>I used to think the same as you, but now I am experiencing this problem I can understand some of the more obscure allergies that literally blight lives, you can't eat out, you can't eat at other peoples houses, and you can only eat in your own house after checking and double checking evertime you go shopping. <BR/><BR/>A teenage girl died last week from an anphlyatic attack caused by a brand of toothpaste, this could have been from the packaging which had recently been changed or even from the toothpaste itself! So something so normal can kill and parents in these situations do need good advice.<BR/><BR/>Sorry am not personally attacking you but sometimes I feel very strongly that people do not understand fully how difficult this is.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards<BR/>LindseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-47775468302111736202007-08-16T14:47:00.000+01:002007-08-16T14:47:00.000+01:00What Ken?

The man's pissed at the keyboard!<BR/><BR/>Nice one Ken!<BR/><BR/>I assume you mean 'Tesco Crossgates Centre' in Leeds.<BR/><BR/>I am going round right now with a bagful of helium-filled latex balloons and let them go inside the store and watch the poor luvvies scatter from this highly dangerous aerial hazard to their wellbeing, whilst panic-stricken management frantically hit 999 and get the Doomwatch clearup merchants in to isolate the surrounding area for the next thousand years or whatever the half-life of a latex balloon is. Do you know they sell condoms in Tesco (Crossgates)??? I believe they are also made of some sort of reprehensible life-threatening material. I can see a rise in the local birthrate looming on the horizon.<BR/><BR/>;o) skydogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-37723507884492228232007-08-15T17:18:00.000+01:002007-08-15T17:18:00.000+01:00This is the same Tesco whose fresh pineapples are ...This is the same Tesco whose fresh pineapples are 'Suitable for vegetarians' ?<BR/><BR/> It's funny though how all of a sudden kids are likely to die touching balloons and most other things as well. I spent thirteen years at school and not once did I hear of a fellow pupil snuffing it from a balloon allergy (or nut allergy, puppy allergy, plastic allergy...). In fact I don't think I knew anyone with an allergy apart from "I must be allergic to school mum.
