Recent Release, "Fish Out of Water," from Christian Faith Publishing Author Panya Washington, Explores a Hidden Health Crisis Through One Surgical Technologist's Journey

Washington, DC, November 06, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Panya Washington has completed a new book, "Fish Out of Water": A True Story of a Surgical Technologist, Panya Washington — a compelling account that awakens readers to a silent threat lurking in everyday products. For decades, latex has been woven into countless items we purchase without question, from medical supplies to household goods, yet most people remain unaware of its dangers. Through her personal struggle, Washington illuminates this critical issue that affects newborns through seniors, revealing how a common workplace material nearly destroyed her thriving career and quality of life.

Washington's credentials as a certified surgical technologist since 1984 lend authentic authority to her narrative. She spent over two decades finding fulfillment in operating room work, performing daily in an environment saturated with latex gloves. When hypoallergenic alternatives could no longer protect her, and asthma compounded with body-wide itching made her job impossible, she faced an agonizing choice. In 2005, Washington felt utterly displaced after being forced to abandon the profession she cherished, prompting her to transform despair into purpose.

"Fish Out of Water" equips readers with essential knowledge about latex contamination in products we trust and use constantly. Washington teaches practical skills for reading ingredient labels on physical items the way we scrutinize food packaging, revealing how synthetic materials can replace rubber-based alternatives. Her groundbreaking guide serves every household globally, offering the critical information manufacturers have overlooked: latex can be life-threatening to allergic individuals, yet remains entirely replaceable. Readers will discover they possess agency over their health through informed purchasing decisions.
"I wrote this book to help others recognize what I suffered in silence and to push manufacturers toward safer alternatives that protect vulnerable populations," said the author

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Washington's enlightening work provides readers with actionable tools to safeguard their families from an underestimated health hazard. Her testimony demonstrates that personal tragedy can catalyze meaningful change benefiting countless individuals worldwide.

Readers who wish to experience this invaluable work can purchase "Fish Out of Water" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
