Subject: Pietenpol-List: Handling T-88 Epoxy>>Mike,>>T'was I who mentioned about latex allergies and powder reactions. I now>work for the V.A. Hospital in Kerrville, Tx and over the last few years>have seen a few staff members develope a latex allergy. That goes>along with the fact that since it was a job related injury and the>gov'mint has to pay lost time and medical bills that they have done away>with the latex gloves and now use nitrile and vinyl gloves instead.>>The powder seems to be a mechanical irritant and the longer you leave>it on the more chance it has to abrade the skin. It's too easy to just>take off the gloves off and do something else and the powder starts to>work like miniture sand. It's happened to me and so I made sure I washed>the powder off, and no further problems. Now the gloves being supplied>come without powder and are a bit more trouble to put on if the hands>have any moisture (sweat) on them.>>True the latex gloves are the easiest to work in and give the best>"feel" of the gloves mentioned. So just choose, and if using latex>gloves, watch out for a rash, particularly starting on the wrists and>back of the hands. Oh, and with ANY gloves you use you will notice that>when you put them on, then and only then, will your nose itch and need>to be scratched or something needs to be wiped out of your eyes. Careful>around the eyes with latex, they are more sensitive than the hands and>for sure will get irritated fast.>>Rodger>>________________________________________________________________________________

Yep Rodger, girfriend says she is well aware of the problem after all. Myoriginal comment was a littleoffhand, thinking I would already have heard of this since she talksnon-stop about her work !!I will continue to use latex, the present box of which is powdered, as I amnot prone to allergiesand won't be wearing them a whole lot more.Good info.....-----Original Message-----
