That may be the case where you work, but you won't get past the lobby
with anything other than a mylar balloon in both of the hospitals in
my town.



I find that very odd. I have NEVER heard of security stopping anyone for
bringing in a regular balloon. That being said anyone coming into pediatrics
with balloons would be stopped at the nurses station and Believe me if a
child had a reaction to latex it would be well know by then with all of the
contact of the physicians and Nurses, Phlebotomist (etc, etc.) gloves.
Oh do tell what town you live in? I am in Michigan.

peace,
Barbara
