from russia, with love: question

28 March 2010

Are there non-latex band-aids? 'Cause we have baaaad reactions to band-aids (various brands) over here. I'm guessing it's the latex...

Lindy D. said...: There are definately non-latex band-aids. I am allergic to latex and unfortunaley have scars to prove it. I would be happy to send some to you. Is your current post still listed here?; Sunday, 28 March, 2010
Annie said...: Yep; my daughter Lydia has the same issue...we look for the woven cloth ones.; Sunday, 28 March, 2010
Nif said...: Could be the adhesive too! I get 1/2" high rashes from adhesives. There is a product called SkinPrep in australia that keeps the adhesive from contacting the immune system but still adheses....magic. Dunno if it exists in Russia though :(; Monday, 29 March, 2010

I guess we need a trip down under. ;>; Monday, 29 March, 2010
