Expressing support for designation of the week of October 1 through 7, 2017, as “Latex Allergy Awareness Week”.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 27, 2017

Mr. Engel (for himself and Ms. Shea-Porter) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for designation of the week of October 1 through 7, 2017, as “Latex Allergy Awareness Week”.

    Whereas incidences of latex allergies have increased due to widespread exposure to products containing latex rubber allergen;

    Whereas latex allergies can be elicited by touching a product containing natural rubber latex, breathing airborne latex protein particles, or digesting food prepared using latex gloves;

    Whereas those who suffer from latex allergies commonly suffer from cross-reactive food allergies or asthma;

    Whereas latex allergies can be prevented by avoiding all latex-related products which can be found in health care environments, restaurants, childcare facilities, workplaces, schools, communities, and homes; and

    Whereas the week of October 1 through 7, 2017, would be appropriate to designate as “Latex Allergy Awareness Week”: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the House of Representatives supports the designation of “Latex Allergy Awareness Week”.
