I now wear gloves whenever possible and, I suspect because of my
reduced exposure to chemicals, my hands no longer crack and bleed when
I get them near photographic chemistry.
If you do go in search of gloves make sure that you purchase gloves
which are NOT lubricated. Medical gloves made for examination are
often coated lighty with greasy lubricants or powders which will get
all over your negatives (very messy). I speak from experience as I
have a case of lubricated gloves purchased some years ago. FWIW
examination gloves are not always advertised as lubricated - you have
to ask.
