一篇本地報業就著對乳膠手套敏的報導，當中訪問了香港皮膚專科醫生陳厚毅醫生。 一般有質數的醫療用乳膠手套，對乳膠蛋白含量都有嚴格規限，不能大過50µg/g。 但一般家庭主婦在市面上如超級市場買到的清潔用乳膠手套，當中的致敏原”乳膠蛋白”含量都沒有規限 。致敏劑量多少 和 接觸時的個人狀況不同(例如有傷口) ，對乳膠敏感的人士接觸後出現的反現都可能因而有所不同。所以若然過往的過敏反應只是輕微出現紅點，也並不代表不可以引發更強的過敏反應。 若您懷疑自己對乳膠敏感，請不要輕視，可向皮膚專科醫生查詢並避免接觸。 以下HKET Topick原文的連結: https://topick.hket.com/article/1945135/%E6%B4%97%E7%A2%97%E6%88%B4%E4%B9%B3%E8%86%A0%E6%89%8B%E5%A5%97%E5%9A%B4%E9%87%8D%E8%87%B4%E4%BC%91%E5%85%8B%E3%80%80%E9%86%AB%E7%94%9F%EF%BC%9A%E7%9A%AE%E8%86%9A%E5%8F%AF%E5%87%BA%E7%96%B9%E5%8F%8A%E7%97%95%E7%99%A2

I […]
