I haven't worn gloves in the SAB for over two years now and I'm just wondering how many others are with me.

:threadmonitor: :takingnotes:

I just recently got serious about my SAB work, so I'm still very cautious about my technique. For that reason, I'm still wearing gloves. I will be happy to vote once the voting begins, just wanted to explain why I'm probably being more OCD than is necessary. I worry about skin cells and/or small hairs coming loose while my hands are so close to an open plate. (I know not to hover over any open work, but the proximity still worries me.)

Edit: Reading that you haven't worn them for 2 years, makes me realize that gloves clearly aren't necessary, or else you would have seen a problem. At some point, when I'm feeling a little more confident in my work, I will definitely try without the gloves.

Shouldn't really be a worry if you scrub your hands and arms well while washing then again when drying off with a towel

A risk-taker!

I do wear gloves, long-cuffed medical gloves.

I wouldn't say so. I don't imagine gloves that have sat in an open box are truly sterile anymore anyway... cleaner than my washed hands? Probably. I'll take the improved dexterity over cleaner but still not sterile though

I use sealed sab with gloves and hepa filter for +/- pressure caused by gloves. I can't control my rooms A/c. Normally kicks on right when i go too inoculate lul. Had 50-60% loss ratios now 8%.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I usually use gloves. Who knows what the family is wiping on to those towels over here :p. I've done it without gloves with no issue but I like the feel of some skin tight, thin medical gloves.

i hate the feeling of working with gloves so i ditched them awhile ago. i've seen enough people on here say they work gloveless to feel comfortable, & i haven't used gloves myself in over a year

I work in a lab testing biological specimens so I wear gloves to protect me. I wash my hands and forearms with soap and water and dry them with paper towels when I’m working in a SAB. I haven’t found gloves to be necessary. Only 4 years growing but things have gone well.
Contaminated hands or contaminated gloves are still contaminated.

Yeah, iso is fucking terrible for your skin.
I didn't bother when i started but all the handwashing and iso hand spray from working hospitality through covid made me start wearing gloves religiously. I would have these massive cracks on my knuckles from my skin splitting that took months to heal.

I wear gloves while working in my SAB. I spray them with ISO and work out all around them. I never use the same pair either. I just figured it will help cut down on contams such as hair and skin cells falling into the agar or grains. Even though I never pass anything over the open plate or grain, I've never seen hair fall straight down it always moves sideways a bit.

I wear gloves. I think I saw that gloves aren’t necessary for SAB work in one of Munchauzen’s videos a while back, and I’ve considered going without, but my goddamn hands get so dry during the winter/covid that I opt for the gloves just to avoid washing my hands more than I already do. It’s validating to see someone else say the same thing, I feel seen :lol:
