Everyone....I am having a really hard time with this allergy (also allergic to Balsam of Peru which is in dental cement, dry socket packing, etc.). The carba mix is in all kinds of rubber even in all vials for intramuscular, IV medications, antibiotics, vaccines, etc. contain either synthetic or natural rubber stopper. Carba Mix is in both the synthetic and natural kind. It is also in catherers, syringe plungers, injection ports on intravascular tubing and at the tip and angle of scopes i.e., endoscopy, bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, etc.

I had a tooth pulled and about 1/2 hour after continuing for 3 hours I had terrible fast pounding heartbeat that lasted 3 hours and was really frightened. At the time I thought it may have been too much Carbocaine (epinephrine free) injected into me but thinking about it maybe it was an allergic reaction to the vial stopper. I read the insert of Fluzone and it said the stopper was made out of latex dry natural rubber and could cause a problem if you were allergic to latex. I am allergic to the flu and pneumonia shots and was looking for a vaccine I may not be allergic to. That is how I found this. I have to get another tooth out and am afraid to. I can't get nitrous oxide gas as I am immune suppressed from Crohn's disease. My lymphocyte count was only 11 and normal is 20-44. If I had some kind of anaphylactic reaction I would not have gotten over it without treatment, right? SOMEONE - PLEASE HELP.......
Thanks. :yawn:
