Do ya'll wear gloves when you clean your hogs? If so, what is the danger of not wearing them? Just wondering.

i wear gloves. i forget the name of the disease but the chances of getting it are pretty slim i think.

I do. Better to be safe than sorry.

Wear gloves. Hogs can transmit swine brucellosis and a few other diseases to humans.

Choot yeah, wear gloves.

Don't worry hiv is not one of em. Any surgical type will do fine.
It's game cleaning not rocket science. Hog also does not care what kind u use.

This will help.

i use the thicker EMS type gloves. i use them more to keep the stink on my hands to a minimum versus diseases. example: http://www.safecare-emsgloves.com/nitrile-exam-gloves-plus-specs.html hit up your local VFD for a box for a donation.

I use them for all game. In addition to safety, it sure makes hand clean-up easier. Don't try picking your nose unless you used them.

Those EMS gloves pafree linked to sure look nice. I may see if the other guys on my lease want to go in on a case.

yep.

I found some long high risk emt gloves in a smaller quantity at:

A box of 50 was $20 including shipping. The price/glove is higher, but 50 should hold me for a season or three.

iv cleaned hundreds of hogs...and just wore cut gloves...just wash hands realy good after and poroxide any cuts after your done...the surgical gloves are good but if you nick you hand it will go through the gloves and be exposed either way...iv even seen people were latex gloves under a cut glove..done it plent of times with no gloves at all

I wear them when I clean any game for two reasons.
1. I don't mind seeing guts, but touching them grosses me out.
2. Disease and clean up. I have never field dressed a hog that didn't stink to high heaven.

i wear gloves when i have em but when i dont i just wash my hands real good.

Am I the only one who licks his fingers clean???

I just enjoy your posts, I bet you got more funny stories that you can shake a stick at


Some guys use those, kinda not my taste

I wear them for deer and hogs.
