E-drug: Talc in surgical gloves
--------------------------
On January 7th, the Public Citizen's Health Research Group petitioned FDA
to ban all powdered latex gloves because of strong evidence of widespread
and serious latex allergy, especially common in health professionals. The
full petition is on our web site: citizen.org. If any of you have
additional information about the problem or about solutions in your country
or your hospital, please let me know. (swolfe@citizen.org).
Thank you
