Over the past 20 years, latex exposure has increased due in part to the increasing use of gloves to protect against emerging infectious disease pathogens such as HIV, AIDS. Allergy to latex was first recognized in the late 1970s and since then, it has become a major health concern due to a significant increase in number of healthcare workers who were affected. Healthcare workers who frequently using latex gloves such as physicians, nurses, aides, dentists, dental hygienists, operating room employees, laboratory technicians, and hospital housekeeping personnel are at risk for developing latex allergy. Not only healthcare workers, latexsensitive patients could be also affected by latex allergy. There are three types of latex reactions: • Irritant contact dermatitis. The least threatening type of latex reaction, classified as a nonallergenic skin reaction. It usually occurs as a result of repeated exposure to chemicals in latex gloves and results in dryness, itching, burning, scaling, and lesions of the skin. • Allergic contact dermatitis (type IV allergy). A delayed reaction to additives used in latex processing, which results in the same type of reactions as irritant contact dermatitis (dryness, itching, burning, scaling, and lesions of the skin), but the reaction is more severe, spreads to more parts of the body and lasts longer. • Immediate allergic reaction (type I allergy, latex hypersensitivity). The most serious reaction to latex. It can show up as rhinitis with hay fever-like symptoms, conjunctivitis, cramps, hives, and severe itching. It is rare, but symptoms may progress to include rapid heartbeat, tremors, chest pain, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, anaphylactic shock, or potentially, death. To avoid latex allergies Medicom suggest using Safetouch nitrile gloves which are ideal for healthcare professionals who are allergic to latex. Protect yourself and your patients in a latexfree environment. SafeTouch nitrile gloves offer improved “latex-like” comfort which allows for a precise glove fit, comfortable feel, increased flexibility and freedom of movement. The ergonomic properties of these gloves dramatically reduce the cause of hand fatigue and stiffness.

Every time a healthcare worker takes off an examination gloves, washes/scrubs their hands and then puts on another pair of gloves, they become predominantly vulnerable to dry, rough, irritated and cracked skin. This discomfort makes it less likely that they will keep up with hand hygiene protocol. The consequences of chronic dry skin and dermatitis go beyond personal discomfort to the issues of personal health and safety. Irritant contact dermatitis is painful condition characterized by dry, itchy, red and cracked skin and is common problem amongst healthcare workers. Dermatitis could increase the risk of infection for patients and healthcare workers. Skin cracks and fissures are exposed to the increased risk of occupational exposure to the viruses as hepatitis B and C, HIV, other pathogens and transmission of contact organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus.
