*nods* - I imagine it'll happen eventually, as there must be companies making good non-latex gloves for surgeons who need to operate on people with latex allergies, but I don't think we've got a high enough level of demand yet.

I know genuine latex allergy is still relatively rare, but it's not something I'd want to come across while treating an already injured person (and invariably a quite seriously injured person unable to shout 'I'm allergic to latex) nor do I want to risk sensitising myself to it. I guess I need to keep practising with nitrile gloves till I get used to the sensation.
