Illustration 2 panels:
1: banner text: Balloon latex is airborne!!
A cheerleader wearing a pink and yellow uniform running with a bouquet of pink and yellow balloons past school lockers. 

2: banner text: and Balloons Kill.....
In front of the lockers, a person with brown hair clutching their throat and red skin struggling to breathe saying "Gasp" and "EpiPen!!", a person with brown skin and black hair giving her an EpiPen for anaphylaxis. 
dots of pink and yellow are scattered in the air, depicting airborne latex particles
Illustration of the outside an emergency room entrance. Boxes of latex gloves are stacked by the loading dock. A corpse wrapped in a green cloth lies on a gurney, one arm hanging down. The gurney has a red warning label "Latex Allergy"
Banner text: The Most Dangerous Latex Myth.
Myth: all doctor's offices and hospitals are latex free
Truth: Many doctors still use latex gloves and do not think it is airborne. Staff are not educated about airborne latex allergy.
They think taking the box out of the room makes it safe. It doesn't!
Latex particles are like throwing GLITTER. They get everywehere even in the heating/air conditioning ducts. 
Latex is the#2 cause of anaphylaxis during and after surgery!!!
many medical devices and medications contain latex!
