    >Latex gloves - allergic reactionsDear Andres,
    >
    >It happened an serious allergy problem with our employees that presented
    >lesions similar to burns of second degree.
    >The hospital of the company advised us the substitution of the gloves of
    >natural latex for gloves of latex with internal nitrilic compound. They are
    >more resistant and they avoid the contact with the protein of the latex
    >that can cause allergy in sensitive people.
    >The problem was solved.
    >regards.

    > We have used both ( for seafood processing). The latex are much
    >preferred for the reasons Richard mentioned. With vinyl you have to stock
    >more sizes in order to fit all employees. Personally, I am not allergic to
    >latex but I am allergic to some of the powders used in them. We always
    >purchased powder free, which I highly recommend as powder is more likely to
