I'm wondering about the pigment. If the rash is only between your fingers it may not be the gloves, otherwise your entire hand would have the rash... could be what you were handling while wearing the gloves... plant oils will seep through leather gloves, especially those rough textured porous suede gloves that typically have very thin gussets between the fingers. Perhaps you were handling poison ivy or the like... also not wise to share gloves, and I don't recommend leather gloves for gardening. I do use leather-PALM gloves for rough tasks but it's only the PALM; between the fingers is fabric. Also, may I repeat suggestion of using disposable VINYL -- NOT LATEX -- gloves for ordinary garden tasks. HB |

Vinyl is too weak for gardening, use nitrile gloves. http://www.harborfreight.com/5-mil-n...rge-68497.html http://www.atlasfitgloves.com/atlasgardeninggloves.html http://thesweethome.com/reviews/the-...dening-gloves/ http://www.gardeners.com/buy/nitrile-gloves/35-675.html |

I prefer nitrile as they are less likely to have allergenic issues. ?-) |
