I realize that some people have a latex allergy - but, is that more
prevalent in people with spina bifida? Or is there some other reason there
is a "no latex" rule for them? What am I missing?

It is more prevalent in kids with sb. As to the "why", I guess I'm not
sure exactly. www.sbaa.org I think has an article about it, but I haven't
had the opportunity to read it thoroughly.
