I guess we all tend to pull weeds here and there without gloves, hard not to do.
Ann, that is crazy, my doctor was the one who told me I needed to get a tetanus shot, I hadn't had one since I was a kid, I think he said every ten years you should get a booster.
I am always pulling leaves out of my bromeliads without gloves as I stroll around the garden, but once in awhile, you never know what is lurking in your plants.....
