Well, I wasn't going to say anything... But I've NEVER worn or supplied
gloves, I HAVE encouraged people to wash their hands frequently with soap and
warm water... and SFAIK NOBODY'S gotten sick from one of my feasts.

In fact, the only times I've ever really gotten sick from an SCA feast I
suspect from my physical response somehow soap got into the food both times,
go figure... as they say, YMMV...
