I read the same thing about zoos ( i think) but i can't remember where. I wish i did because i am immunosuppressed and that is a concern of mine. Can some one please enlighten us. TIA
I do not wear gloves either. Some people can be sensitive to toxins and a local reaction in the form of a rash can occur. It really depends how sensitive you are to them.
i use aqua gloves...but that's just cause i bought them and i like to keep my arms dry when messing with stuff and of course to keep stuff from my hands and arms out of the water.
In the Contscientious Marine Aquarist...those that have read it....the author suggests gloves for moving LR. He says it's because it's fairly easy to cut yourself on some pieces of LR. :shrug: FWIW
