    I use both latex and vinyl gloves. The latex are more flexible and last
    longer and I have no reaction to them. I believe they are only used by
    surgeons in UK hospitals now, having been taken out of use for other
    purposes.

    Dear Seafood Community:
    Does anybody have information about allergic reactions in consummers, due to
    latex trace in fish handled with latex gloves during processing? Does anyone
    have experience with latex free gloves?
    I would appreciate any comment.
    Regards.
