Do you wear gloves to candle?

[speckledhen]

I sometimes use a medical latex glove to turn eggs because I have carpal tunnel and my grip isn't always the best. It does help with that, skin oils aside.

I have carpal tunnel as well and although I have never worn gloves...I have dropped a few and even squashed one!

Thanks for the advice. I promise to wear my latex gloves from now on!

I've never worn gloves while candling but I do wash my hands thoroughly beforehand. I also candle several times before lockdown without any issues. About every 3rd day or so, maybe?

Never had an issue with candling often. I had great hatches last year but so far this year...
