Be a little careful with latex gloves . You can get an allergy to latex, something to do with the protein in the natural rubber, not a good thing if
you know what I mean... If you find yourself using them all the time, you might get sensitised to it...

Tell me about it... 
When I stripped my engine down I decided to wear latex gloves due to the risks of skin cancer. After a day or so I ended up with a VERY bad rash on
my hands, resulting a trip to the doctor.
Now I use the vinyl ones with no problems - I also use Rozalex (sp?) barrier cream where there's a risk that the gloves might tear. I would try
the nitrile ones if I could find a local supplier...
One advantage of finding out that I was allergic to latex - I now know why I could never wear Elastoplast plasters (latex in the glue) and why I
always had sore lips after a long session in the dentist's chair (his latex gloves).

Quite glad you explained that one! 
Having said that a mate of mine has to use very specific condoms as she's allergic to latex!
