| THE FDA SAYS ONLY 1% OF LATEX DEATHS ARE REPORTED
Delayed contact dermatitis from chemicals in rubber has been recognized
since the 1930s.4 But except for rare early reports, clinicians did not
appreciate systemic allergic reactions to latex proteins until 1979, when
case reports began to appear in Europe. 5
Latex allergy erupted in the United States shortly after the Centers for
Disease Control introduced universal precautions in 1987. By late 1992,
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 1133 reports of serious
allergic reactions and anaphylaxis occurring to patients and health care
staff associated with 30 classes of latex medical devices. There were 15
patient deaths associated with latex barium enema catheters.5,6
The FDA estimated that the reports represented only 1% of actual
occurrences.6
Today, researchers hypothesize that the latex allergy outbreak is the
result of multiple factors including deficiencies in manufacturing
processes, increased latex exposure, hand care practices, immunological
cross reactivity, and changes in latex agricultural practices.1,7,8, 45
Latex allergy affects between 8%-12% of workers in all health disciplines.
Latex allergy also affects up to 51% of children with spina bifida, and
approximately 1% of the general population.

None of them related to condom use.

| Oh really.
So they don't report to the FDA but they do report to the great GM Carter?

There's no evidence that condoms ever caused a death. Ever.

| ...just the fact they are EXACTLY the same formulation as latex gloves,
contain carcinigens, teratogens and over a 100 FDA listed toxins.
As almost no latex deaths are reported (1% according to the FDA) this is
hardly surprising.
Cancer and even latex allergy takes years to develop and so without any
focus on condoms there role can easily be ignored.
If gloves cause so many to suffer and die than clearly so do condoms.
Nothing could be more obvious.

So you claim. So you fail to understand the surface area and frequency
of use issues. So you fail to understand the relative and absolute
risks of latex allergy developing under such vastly different
scenarios. So you fail to comprehend the difference between a risk of
latex allergy versus the risks associated with HIV and sexually
transmitted infections.
So are you making lots of money filming people XXXXing bareback based
on your self delusions? So have you had your CD4 count checked lately?

he make a good point there! why should it not be any diffrent with other
latex products..such as condoom!
because there is no study done on that, so it musnt be true then and it
wouldnt do any harm!

LOL. Nope. This is incorrect and data that exist refute this claim
rather than support it.
I'd posted that study almost as frequently as Mark posts his bullshit.
But you can always use a plastic condom.
Or increase dramatically the risk of a sexually transmitted infection
(getting or giving).

"Occurrences" is not a synonym for "deaths".
