hey homie, the rubber gloves are definetly overkill haha, i mean dont stick your dirty finger all in the plants grill but your good with lightly touching them with your hands n moving them. i dont even wear gloves when i trim, and thats always the day i get stupid stoned, im serious, i think the resin starts 2 soak thru ur skin like Salve or those pain patches, im serious i be falln asleep high later into Trim/Harvest day haha.
