   There are far too many sources of latex to list, but a few of the more common ones may be found in the following consumer products:
   
   Babies and Children:
   
   Pacifiers
   Bottle nipples
   Bulb syringes
   Diapers
   Elastic
   Underwear
   Balloons
   Koosh balls, soccer balls, volleyballs
   Rubber ducks
   Rubber mats
   Carpet backing foam rubber
   Youth and Adults:
   
   Erasers
   Craft supplies
   Make up
   Halloween/Costume masks
   Adhesives, adhesive bandages
   Elastic
   Underwear
   Disposable gloves, cleaning gloves, first aid/medical gloves
   Koosh balls, soccer balls, volleyballs
   Rubber ducks
   Coated or taped racquet handles
   Condoms (male and female), diaphragms
   Computer mouse pads
   Buttons on electronic equipment
   Rubber mats
   Carpet backing foam rubber
   Even food that has been handled by people wearing powdered latex gloves can become contaminated and be a hazard for those with a latex allergy.
