This is an interesting question, but as the OP is unashamedly tryin to spam us s/he is banned.

This is an interesting question
Not very.
The answer is "no".

My friend who's a doctor says No

I watched a medical documentary about a Doctor.
She had a sudden health issue, like dizziness n black outs during driving n loss of speech n language until her health deteriorated completely in went into a coma I suppose.
Other Doctors ran innumerable amounts of medical tests on her, diagnosis was toxic stuff passed thru her gloves mixed into her blood stream intravaneously n collected inside d soft tissue of her brain.
She used to work in a lab, on Mercury!

The commute must have been difficult.
Dimethyl mercury will go through gloves and then through your skin.
It's not nice.
It's a lot smaller than the smallest microbe.

Hey man! (or woman)
This is d biology section, not astronomy...duh!
😇
Still, Thank You for ur informative post.

It's not an English language tuition forum either, but that's not going to stop me telling you that capital letters matter.

I believe that viruses that are normally much smaller than microbes can sneak thru regular rubber gloves or condoms but no doubt surgeons or those who work with dangerous viruses use much higher grade ones.

While bad spelling and punctuation stick out like a sore thumb we must remember that some people type on an iPod like device as opposed to a proper keyboard and that ain't nice

@syhprum
Now how n d world did u know dat???
Yea it's a locally manufactured tablet,
U got me worryed now man!
R u watching me or sumthin!
😎
But, I gotta say...irrespective of d tool v use, there is auto-correct in almost evrythin nowadyz.
So I gues @Bored chemist validly getz 2 have d last word.
👍
Its not such a big deal 2 put in a litl xtra effort n type rite u knw.
😝
But language, jst lyk organisms, Evolves.
👌
Change s d nly konstnt!
P.S. - So many a times I've observed users/members clashing their egos with each other out here on T.N.S.
I Wish & can only Hope " WE " stop getting distracted & start concentrating on the Subject/Topic.
We aren't going to live forever, you know...& the Universe has so much to say/tell.
Let's hear it out!

In veterinary and human medicine, gloves, like hand hygiene, are typically used for two reasons: to prevent spread of germs or chemicals from a patient/person/object/surface to a person’s hands, and/or to prevent the spread of germs or chemicals from a person’s hands to a patient/person/object/surface. However, gloves are not the infallible barrier to germs that many people would like to think they are. Here are a few reasons why:
Even new gloves can have holes in them: The accepted quality control limit for defects in medical gloves large enough to leak water is 1.5%. That may seem relatively low, but when you consider the hundreds of gloves that may be used over time in a veterinary (or human) clinic, that can add up to a lot of potential hand-to-patient or patient-to-hand pathogen transmission.
Gloves can be damaged during use: Glove tears or punctures during use can be extremely common, particularly for certain procedures involving anything pointy or sharp (e.g. equipment, teeth, claws) or long procedures. Studies have shown that glove punctures that may occur during surgical procedures are frequently undetected by the person wearing the gloves. Even though gloves may provide an added layer of protection for a time, proper hand hygiene before and after glove use helps reduce the risk of transmission when that barrier breaks down.
Bacteria can multiply under gloves: Anyone who has ever had to wear any kind of rubber, latex or vinyl gloves for more than 5-10 minutes knows how sweaty and hot it can make your hands, so you can imagine the kind of sweaty soup that can accumulate when gloves need to be worn for even longer than this. That’s why hand hygiene before putting on gloves is so important for “clean” procedures like surgery, because it helps decrease the number of bacteria on the hands to start, and ultimately the amount that will grow back by the time the procedure is done. Hand hygiene after glove removal is important so the “soup” isn’t being spread to the next patient, person or object.
We use gloves for the highest-risk procedures: Glove use is typically recommended for the cleanest procedures (i.e. surgery) and the dirtiest procedures (i.e. things with a high “ick” factor, like handling feces). A glove puncture in surgery could potentially lead to contamination of sterile tissues, resulting in a surgical site infection. A glove puncture (or contamination of the hands when removing gloves) when handling high-risk material like feces can lead to transmission of fecal pathogens to anyone or anything that person may touch afterward (including themselves). In a sense, hand hygiene is actually even more important in situations when gloves are typically worn!
Although proper glove use and hand hygiene applies primarily to veterinary and healthcare workers, there are times when glove use is also recommended at home (e.g. caring for pets with certain kinds of infections, higher-risk individuals performing certain tasks like cleaning up pet messes). Remember that gloves are not a substitute for hand hygiene – always wash your hands or use hand rub after taking gloves off. It is also important not to touch anything with your gloved hands that will later be touched by someone without gloves, and be sure to put used disposable gloves directly in the garbage.
