As more hospital workers don disposable latex examination gloves, reports of serious reactions and at least 16 deaths from latex allergies are being noted. Symptoms of latex allergy range from mild eczema to hives, welts and anaphylaxis. A rise in such incidents is of great concern for hospitals, which are expected to spend more than $500 million on latex examination gloves this year.
