Is wearing a pair of Blue Nitrile Gloves 7 hours a day bad for my hands?
Question:
Answers:
Are nitrile gloves the ones that can be blown up like a chicken.anyway.If you wear them nonstop for whatever reason 7 hours a day,you can get a little tingling but youd have to be crazy to use the same pair of gloves for 7 hours strait
Your hands need to breathe just like the rest of your body. If your hands are gloved for that long they are basically sitting in a moist environment most of the day. You are looking to get a fungal infection, cracked hands/fingers or your skin will begin to break down. I would recommend that you try to take them off whenever possible. Wash your hands in between and at the very least change them every 2 hours and dry your hands completely in between glove changes.
Why are you wearing the same pair of blue nitrile gloves 7 hours a day?
The other poster is correct regarding skin breakdown, but I'm curious. I'm in healthcare education and I wear nitrile gloves sometimes, but not the same pair of 7 hours at once.
