BulkRate Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 As others have pointed out, a bunch of possible causes but ruling out individual susceptibility (just like some people are more sensitive to bee stings or poison ivy) a HUGE deal is the state of your skin... it's amazing how much your skin protects you. Case & point - rock flower anemones are considered to have some of the weakest stings out there & normally you can move them around all day in your tank with bare hands & encounter only a little bit of "stickiness" apparent to you. But, say if you happen to have a paper cut/scratch and brush up against one while doing a "this will take so little time it's not work breaking out the gloves for" tinker - WOW! I'm glad my kids didn't hear me. I'm currently using these - their mil thickness is just a bit higher than I'd like but they don't tear easily, have a long enough cuff that water doesn't end up leaking down my arm and leave enough dexterity for pretty detailed scaping & coral gluing work - KC500 "safeskin" http://www.amazon.com/Kimberly-Clark-Nitrile-Powder-Gloves-Disposable/dp/B001TQDTA2/ref=pd_sim_328_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=1HXJ56WXA1Z2YNJQJM5C Link to comment
