My daughter (almost 3 yrs old) has spina bifida and we use latex precautions. Luckily she is not allergic yet. All the lists I have seen about what latex items to stay away from have never said anything about rubberwood.
When I opened up the dollhouse Santa was giving her it said it was made entirely from rubberwood. This concerns me because that is wood from the tree that produces latex, however, from what I can tell on the web it is used after the tree stops producing latex. She has not had any reaction to the wood but I don't want to create an allergy either. Any info or experience with rubberwood?
