WELCOME TO LATEX AWARE The Latex Allergy Support Group Website The Latex Allergy Support Group (LASG) has three aims: To raise awareness of latex allergy amongst the general public and, in particular, healthcare workers. To provide a national support network for those affected by latex allergy. To push for investigation into the increased incidences of the allergy, the identification of "at risk" groups and the prevention of unnecessary contact with known sensitising agents. You too can become a member in the membership section. If you have any comments to make or thoughts to add please contact the Chair or call 07770 698 192. The LASG runs on the efforts of a host of volunteers so any ideas or contributions are more than welcome.
