Wearing Gloves Can Be Sticky

When using latex or vinyl gloves while gardening, I find they are tough to open and insert hands. Sometimes after they have been taken off, a finger or two may get inverted.

Nothing is safe, apparently. This from a pediatrician:
"Baby powder may smell and feel good, but I don't recommend it — and the American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends against it. Powder can cause breathing problems and serious lung damage when inhaled, and it's not always easy to keep the powder out of the air where your baby might breathe it. This is most worrisome with talc-based powders, which have small, easily inhaled particles. Cornstarch, which has larger, coarser particles, is not as easily inhaled as talc."

So, keep your nose out of your gloves? Hilarious!

Arif ~ I will have to dig out my bottle and see what it says. Perhaps I am just thinking that because it is used as a roach deterrent.

And I agree on your comment " whose fault would that be?" My sentiments exactly!

It sounds to me as though there are drawbacks to any powder in gloves, which perhaps is why they sell disposable gloves without any sort of powder in them?
