Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Children with spina bifida, people with constant latex exposure, and those with multiple allergies are known to be prone to latex allergy. Allergies to certain foods, such as avocados, potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, chestnuts, kiwifruit, and papaya, may be implicated in natural latex allergies per NIOSH.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
These disinfectants can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and the fumes can irritate the nasal passages. Gloves and goggles should be worn when using these chemicals and the agents should be used in proper dilution.
