Latex sensitivity

I was not in the test group but want to make you aware that people who are sensitive to latex cannot use a mask with latex. I ended up in the hospital with a reaction. My entire face blew up and looked like I spent 24 hours sitting in the hot sun. At that time I had to get a mask with denim to eliminate latex. Are masks still made with latex?

I don't know of any currently manufactured CPAP mask with latex. They are all made of silicone now.

Cheers,

Almost all that I've ever seen and read about specifically state that they are "Latex Free".
