Source: Wikipedia Latex is a plant-based substance that undergoes a remarkable transformation when exposed to the air. It contains various compounds like proteins, alkaloids, starch, sugars, oils, resins, and gums. This sap-like substance serves as a natural defense mechanism for plants, keeping pests at bay. When a plant is injured or threatened by insects, it produces latex, forming a resilient protective shield. This barrier is incredibly strong, thanks to the presence of powerful natural compounds, making it highly resistant to penetration.Latex Mattresses
