The increased popularity of latex has led to producers making the stuff
"quick and dirty", i.e. not fully polymerized (ploymers being generally
inert). The finished product thus contains significant traces of raw
material, which are not nearly as inert. The raw materials are also 
naturally-occuring, so allergic reactions are more likely than they would
be to totally synthetic materials.
