Latex allergy allergy is an IgE (immune) mediated reaction to proteins found in the "Hevea brasiliensis" tree, a type of rubber tree. Testing for type I natural rubber latex allergy is through blood testing to determine if the patient is producing IgE antibodies to latex proteins. Anaphylactic shock can be provoked in allergic persons by the "previous" use of latex in an area: latex is typically powdered to prevent sticking, latex proteins become attached to the particles of powder, and the powder becomes airborne when the latex item is used, triggering potentially life-threatening Type I reactions when the latex-contaminated powder is inhaled
Active Life: Extreme Challenge Active Life: Extreme Challenge Active Life: Extreme Challenge (Family Trainer: Extreme Challenge in Europe and Family Trainer 2 in Japan) is a video game for the Wii platform, created by Bandai Namco Games. It is the sequel to "" and was released on August 11, 2009. The game uses a mat to play mini-games. The game-mat is different from the mat that is used in Dance Dance Revolution. As this game's unique pad controller is designed to physically connect to the Wii via its GameCube controller ports, this game is incompatible with later Wii models, which eliminated the said ports.
