When the body comes in contact with some proteins in rubber latex, immune system misinterprets them as harmful substances and produce antibodies to expel them. These antibodies initiate secretion of histamines on continuous exposure to latex and results in allergic reactions.

  • Inhalation of latex particles from its products that stay on air.
  •  Fruits like Avocado, Banana, Passion Fruit, Kiwi etc. contain same chemical as in latex. So, latex allergic people may get allergic to these fruits also.

People who have constant or increased contact with latex gloves or other products are more prone to be affected with latex allergy. This group includes medical professionals, those who undergo repeated surgeries, people who work in rubber industry etc. and also those with a family history of allergy.

Ayurveda describes exposure to cold wind as the reason for Udarda.

Mild Symptoms include itchy skin with rashes and redness. In severe condition there will be:

  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing

Some of the symptoms like swelling, pricking pain, vomiting, fever, burning sensation etc. are said to be worst condition of udarda.
