Education for Latex Allergy / Support-Team and Information-Coalition
GOALS and OBJECTIVES:
One of the most frightening aspects of coping with an allergy to latex is the lack of information and standardized treatment. The people one depends on the most during a medical crisis, physicians and hospitals, often are at a loss of how to provide medical treatment and prevent further exposure to latex products prevalent in the healthcare setting. ELASTIC is a support and information service, designed to assist patients and their families with the difficult task of living with this allergy. It is important to be informed and to educate those in contact with the latex allergic individual. Joining this support group is a way to distribute more data to a larger population; the lack of definitive procedures available to healthcare facilities is astonishing.
