<< such as latex surgical type gloves >> Costco sells a box of 100 for about $7 if I remember correctly. Cheap insurance. They also are great to wear when gardening and give protection without confinement. Of course I've answered the door wearing them and have gotten some strange looks. :-) DIL supplies me w/more durable ones as well she is a surgical nurse. These I use when really chopping a lot of pods. Mary-Anne
