I never use gloves when handling a knife because I just don't consider
that safe. But, I absolutely never rub my eyes either!

Reminds me of a funny and true story I heard while eating at a Ky.
restaurant called 'The Knotty Pine on the Bayou', a cajun style restaurant.
They serve very spicy foods and all the tables have a generous selection of
hot sauces on them. Well, it seems that a few days before we were there, a
small group of people were there and, you guessed it, one of the guys in
this group was the macho type. Nothing to hot for him, right? Well, they
ate, and this guy is messing around with the hot sauces, until, naturally,
nature finally calls. He gets up to go the the mens' room, a few minutes go
by, and the next thing you know there is this extreme disturbance coming
from the restroom. Yep, you guessed it--he forgot to rinse his hands
'before' he went to the rest room. The poor guy was on the floor in major
pain and they actually ended up calling 911!! I am not sure how one could
ever live that one down.
