To some it is a seroius irritant, which is why both kinds are available. A
good source is Associated Bag in Milwaukee-ph# 800/926-6100. We used that
supplier almost exclusively when I was Registrar at Milwaukee Public Museum
(I believe my friends there still do). I still buy my vinyl gloves from
Assoc. Bag. They are big suppliers of the medical profession (vinyl and
latex surgical gloves as well as bio-hazard bags, etc.)
Cheers,
