I bought a very nice FAK yesterday. I bought it mostly because of the case. I've been looking for something to fit a BOB and I thought the way the case was organized would make it prefect for use in my BOB. It was made by J&J.

I was reading the fine print on the packaging and it noted the [color:"red"] case contains latex [/color] . Now my question is how much of a concern is that to me. This kit may be used me and my family (we have no known allergy to latex) or I may use it in an emergency. In which case I may or may not be able to ascertain if the victim has any allergy to latex.

All FAK content will be sealed in their own packaging. However it would be next to impossible to ensure that I would not touch any of the latex while giving first aid.

How concerned should I be?
