Product Information

Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation?

In most cases, there are alternative products you can use. Latex balloons are banned at GOSH, but foil balloons are fine for a child with latex allergy. All wards and departments at GOSH now use latex-free gloves. Latex-free condoms are widely available in most chemists. The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide. to finish with a shafred (system-wide) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in /usr/local/bin.The female condom is made from polyurethane and is safe for you to use. A variety of non rubber (latex free) condoms are available and should be available from a pharmacy. Employees with latex allergy, latex sensitivity or latex-induced asthma should use non-latex gloves People with latex allergy should avoid products containing latex. This will prevent their symptoms getting any worse. There are many lists of products containing latex available but as a general guide, you should try to avoid: If you are highly allergic to latex, it may be worth carrying a set of sterile latex-free gloves, especially if you are travelling away from home. Hospitals and doctors in the UK are becoming more aware of latex allergy, but unfortunately the same may not be true of healthcare abroad. the health of individuals with existing latex allergy is not put at significant risk if colleagues use either low protein, powder free latex gloves or latex-free gloves. An exception might be if the affected employee has anaphylaxis. However, in all cases where employees have work-related medical conditions, competent medical advice should have been sought

NRL can be found in many products used in health and social care. It has been extensively used in the manufacture of medical gloves (non-sterile examination gloves, surgical gloves) because it is a very durable and flexible material giving wearers a high degree of dexterity, sensitivity and microbiological protection. It is also used in a range of medical devices. This form of latex allergy has the potential to cause the most severe form of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) using low-protein, powder-free, single-use latex gloves in the workplace is unlikely to lead to new cases of latex allergy At a national and local level, a policy that encourages switching from powdered latex gloves to powder-free, low-protein latex gloves is a proven effective method of reducing the incidence of latex allergy Breathing problems such as cough, wheeze or difficulty in breathing as a result of breathing in latex protein that becomes airborne (from balloons and rubber gloves)NRL proteins can cause type I (immediate) hypersensitivity. In addition, the products manufactured using NRL proteins contain other chemicals that can cause irritant reactions and/or type IV (delayed) hypersensitivity reactions. Typical skin and respiratory problems associated with the use of NRL single-use gloves are: The evidence and conclusions from the NHS Plus Occupational Health Clinical Effectiveness Unit report provide reassurance that: Single-use disposable gloves. The use of gloves as part of infection control within healthcare rose exponentially during the 1990s. There are a number of different types of gloves available. All single-use latex gloves may present a particular risk of latex allergies but the risk is reduced in gloves with lower levels of latex proteins. Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a milky fluid obtained from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, which is widely grown in south-east Asia. As with many other natural products, NRL contains proteins to which some individuals may develop an allergy.

Latex is found in many products used in healthcare. These products are often for single patient use, for example disposable gloves or equipment. The use and availability of powdered latex gloves has reduced due to an increased awareness of latex allergy. Now alternative materials are used, such as nitrile, to provide safe alternatives to those with a natural rubber latex allergy. Gloves containing powder (used as a lubricant) can be a problem for those with a latex allergy or asthma as it is possible for latex protein to become airborne when the gloves are removed, releasing particles into the air which can cause allergic symptoms. Employers should carefully consider the risks when selecting gloves for use in the health and social care sector. HSE has provided specific guidance on selecting latex gloves and recommends following HSE's glove selection guidance when considering glove use in the workplace (latex or otherwise), Further information Powdered gloves pose an additional risk, not only to the user but also to sensitised people in the area. This is because the proteins in the NRL glove leach into the powder, which becomes airborne when the gloves are removed, leading to the potential for inhalation exposure to the NRL proteins. As the use of such products has increased, particularly of single-use latex gloves in infection control, NRL allergy and sensitisation has been identified as a problem. What is the problem? Natural rubber latex proteins have the potential to cause asthma and dermatitis. Although rare, more serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis are also possible. The amount of latex exposure needed to induce sensitisation is unknown. A substance which causes sensitisation can also cause an allergic reaction in certain people. Once sensitisation has taken place, further exposure to the substance, even to low levels, may cause a reaction. Increasing the exposure to latex proteins increases the risk of inducing a sensitised state and triggering allergic symptoms.to finish with a private (for you only) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in ~/bin. This section provides useful links to sources of guidance, research and information on the management of dermatitis in the health and social care sector. In 2008, the NHS Plus Occupational Health Clinical Effectiveness Unit, in association with the Royal College of Physicians, produced evidence based guidelines for the occupational aspects of latex allergy management.
