If you wear the latex gloves Dr.'s and Nurses wear--the stickers do not go through
them that easily. I always garden in those--as i want to "FEEL' what i am handling.

They are cheap to buy in boxes of 50 or 100 in Walgreen's. They also come in vinyl.
Sometimes they go on sale-- buy one get one free....

HD sells them...Lowes sells them--almost any Pharmacy sells them.
Use and discard if you have been handling something "icky". Cheaper than regular gloves.
You can get the sturdier, blue ones that are also disposable.
To turn them back right side out once you have pulled them off--blow in them--like a balloon.
POP! All fingers pop back out!

To re-use them, but you have a hard time getting them back on--sprinkle a bit of talcum
powder in the gloves--or on your hands. I get about 3 good on and off sessions. Then I can them.

Now--to protect your upper arms--cut off the foot of old, long socks and use the upper part to pull up over
your arms--ribbed end down around your wrist. When they get dirty--just launder them.

Frugal ole Me! Gita
