Hya,

you can get in animal  farm health store/ vet creams for udderprotection:

http://www.farmrite.co.uk/product.ds2?p=106059

for example


Allergy is less likely to be due to fungal contamination of the single use gloves (that would be treated by antifungals then and is very hard to get rid of) but more likely to be related to the material and/ or sweat.

Whoever is a fan of disposables:

http://www.farmrite.co.uk/product.ds2?p=313032

they are a lot stronger than ordinary gloves and will last for several uses, have no powder inside an do not contain latex.
The best trick is to combine the latter with cowsalve: put loads of cowsalve on your hands an then put on the gloves... your hands will emerge smooth and soft like a baby's bottom


Bell


PS: and for aches and pains the alternative to deep heat

The strong peppermint smell is a bit nasty but  the heat can't be beaten
PPS: I'm not a rep for farmrite ;)

Can't see the point of udder gloves.


I'd agree.

Something tells me Gobs is bored today  :lol:  :lol:

As for disposable gloves, I tried them once and within 10 minutes they were shredded. I use disposables only when dealing with red beets.

I only use 2 types, the all cloth ones which are ok for general light stuff and the rigger type leather and cloth. Don't wash or clean either, riggers only last a year or so if I'm lucky. So I just wait for them to dry and rub them together to release the majority of the muck.

Mostly I don't wear any and scare people with my dirty hands.


Ditto - only ever wear them for thorny problems.

Well I had me gloves on today it was so cold. But I couldn't tie the knots in the string for my loganberries. So I got thorns in my hands anyway.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
