  1. Good ideas!
    I bought latex gloves for food prep after an unfortunate incident involving jalapenos from the farmer’s market–they were very strong. That night when I took my contacts out with the fingers I had washed 6 times since then…. well it was a bad experience that I can laugh at now 🙂
    So I already have gloves.
