Can you help us? We currently haveover a dozen residents, staff, and outsideproviders that are extremely allergic tolatex. We have been learning over timethat latex is in many things! The biggestconcerns here at Sheldon Meadows islatex balloons and rubber bands. We askthat when bringing any sort of balloonthat you stick to mylar and not bringlatex into the building. We also ask thatyou do not use regular rubber bands. Ifyou currently have some in use in yourapartments, we will switch them out forlatex free rubber bands. (They work thesame, they are just orange) Thank youfor helping us keep our home safe for all!
