There is currently no conclusive evidence that latex itself causes cancer. However, some studies have suggested that certain chemicals used in the production of latex products, such as rubber accelerators, may have carcinogenic properties. It's essential to differentiate between natural latex and synthetic latex, as the risks can vary. Overall, while latex Allergies are a concern for some individuals, the direct link between latex exposure and cancer remains unclear.
