For as long as I can remember we have always used latex gloves on the medic units and ambulances. With the increased awareness of latex allergies, we have switched exclusively over to nitrile gloves, this past year. While I still prefer latex for sensitivity and dexterity, I have become accustomed to the nitrile. In the lab we still use latex as our primary glove, with nitrile and vinyl for those with latex allergies. Pete
