The basic concepts of allergies: sponge rubber THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF ALLERGIES: SPONGE RUBBER
Sponge rubber is another "modern miracle" with unexpected drawbacks. Sponge-rubber pillows, mattresses, upholstery, seat cushions, rug backings, typewriter pads, and certain noise-reducing devices have all been identified as the sources of chronic illness.
