A member asked:
I'm a dentist and i use latex gloves all the time...are they dangerous snd what are there health hazards do they cause uterine cysts?

Only if allergic: The only concern regarding the use of latex gloves that I am aware of is being allergic to them. I personally know of no other health risks. It affects about 5-10% of health care workers and almost always just involves a contact dermatitis.
