• Latex allergy?

Can having a rubber plant cause medical problems for someone who experiences latex dermatitis when exposed to the skin? Is it safe to care for the plants by wearing nitrile gloves and washing hands, clothes well?

Yes, having an artificial plant will not be an issue, wearing nonlatex gloves will also be advisable and safe.
