Totally agree with you!

Just make sure you wash them after EACH use to make sure no contamination (wash per instructions, though possibly with your other white laundry would be Ok too - not sure as I've not looked at it yet).

As for my other plants, I just use a cotton gardening glove generally. BUT, if you are looking for cotton medical gloves, check out Walgreens if you are in the USA - should be with all the other gloves and are not too expensive from what I've seen. I've not checked Walmart personally, though to have a fair amount of them theirs might be better financially.

Just when washing - MAKE SURE you do an extra rinse in the washer, and then AIR DRY to keep any other chemicals out. Also, NO softener or anything other than simple detergent or you could introduce something to the buds... Just a thought.
