    Johnson and Johnson’s Bandaids are generally packaged with Latex-containing packaging. I believe that the Bandaids themselves are Latex-free. As long as I don’t have a Latex allergy, should these be safe to use? In other words, if I use such a Bandaid on someone with a Latex allergy but keep the wrapper away from them, what’s the likelihood of an allergic reaction? Should any and all latex-bearing products be avoided in a FAK, or are such Bandaids ok?

    On a related note, :censored:? How is it that one of the biggest names in bandages continues to use latex-bearing packaging, when Latex allergies can be so severe? Thanks!
