B
A healthcare worker with frequent exposure to latex gloves
C
A student who occasionally uses latex balloons
D
An individual with no known allergies or occupational exposure to latex
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the common sources of latex exposure in each scenario: textile factory, healthcare setting, occasional use of balloons, and no known exposure.
Understand that latex allergies are often developed through repeated exposure to latex products, which can sensitize the immune system.
Consider the frequency and intensity of exposure: healthcare workers frequently use latex gloves, increasing their risk of developing an allergy.
Compare the exposure levels: healthcare workers have the highest exposure due to the regular use of latex gloves, while others have minimal or no exposure.
Conclude that the healthcare worker is at the greatest risk for developing latex allergies due to their frequent and direct contact with latex products.
