I do not know of the website your are looking for but
I do know that I have not been diagnosed with the
latex allergy, but because I am at high risk at
developing it I am to not come into contact with those
products unless necessary. At doctors offices they
will not even let me in the same room that carry any
items contained with latex, and the gloves have been
replaced with alternative at every facility I have
been to because the allergic reaction can be fatal.
Sorry if this didn't help, but I feel that more people
need to know about this and I hope to one day see
airborn carriers of latex (in powder)to be extinct.
