Diatomateous Earth good or bad

I have a 8x8 covered run that is attached to the coop that is 4x8. so the run is dirt and the coop is wood that has the sticky tiles on the floor to help with cleaning.

The only reason to wear gloves is to keep your hands from getting dusty. DE will not harm you in that way. It is not a chemical. It also will not help much in the run except to sprinkle on the poo piles to dry them up and control flies. Trying to cover the whole run will end up in a big mess when it rains.
