Natural Rubber Latex

What products contain natural rubber latex?

Latex is used in over 40,000 medical and non-medical products such as erasers, elastic bands, the coating on scratch lotto tickets, gloves and catheters. Exposure to latex (NRL) is hard to avoid in the course of daily living unless one is good at recognizing products that contain latex.

It is impossible to tell by looking at a rubber product if it is made from natural rubber latex or synthetic rubber. If a product says it contains "rubber", never assume it is the synthetic form. Always check with the manufacturer to determine its source.
