hi. you'll see my post and another about the cream. just wanted to say on the latex gloves .. maybe for changing a tire when your dressed up .. but otherwise....hate 'em .. I get all sweaty inside them ... the feel isn't as good starting nuts etc. a good program of using barrier cream and cleaning your hands frequently .. I mainly use dish soap for that .. plus some pumice hand cleaner sometimes.....and a little brush. you can keep your hands really clean if you stay after it.

Tell me more about this hand cream? I cringe everytime I glove up before starting an IV or something on someone after spending "quality" time with the van. We all know latex/nitrile gloves only hold up for mild jobs and mechanic's gloves just leave uniformly dirty hand.
