Rubber yoga mats may contain a small amount of natural latex protein due to the use of natural rubber material in some products, which can cause skin irritation to a small number of people with sensitive constitutions. Sensitive symptoms usually include local redness, itching, or mild rash, which often occur in areas that have been in contact for a long time. Most people who use rubber yoga mats normally do not experience allergic symptoms, but for those with latex allergies, they should carefully choose or directly choose yoga mats made of TPE, EVA and other materials that do not contain natural latex components under the guidance of professional doctors. In the manufacturing of rubber yoga mats, multiple treatment processes such as high-temperature vulcanization and impurity removal are usually carried out, which can effectively reduce the concentration of residual allergens.

When using a new pad for the first time, you can first apply it in a small area on the inner side of your arm for half an hour, observe if there are any abnormal reactions in the skin, and then decide whether to engage in daily practice. Keeping the pad clean, regularly wiping, and air drying during use can reduce the possibility of bacterial growth and irritation caused by sweat residue. Choosing rubber yoga mats with quality inspection certificates and from legitimate channels can to some extent avoid the risk of allergies. If skin discomfort occurs, contact should be immediately stopped and cleaned. If necessary, seek medical attention promptly. Reasonably understanding one's own constitution and choosing suitable materials can help improve the comfort of the yoga experience.
