Need Glove advice from First Responders

[gmar]

I recently had a situation where I had to clean a rent house that was left in horrible shape by some people that were probably strung out on drugs. With the fear of running into needles and other sharp objects, what sort of gloves would you first responders recommend for protection against needle pricks and cuts?

You can wear latex on the inside of some heavy leather gloves. I wear the when doing an extraction when blood is present

Those Turtle Skin gloves look perfect for what I need. Pretty sad I people can't respect other people's stuff and I have to worry about getting a needle prick!

Do you know if I can buy these gloves locally?

This is a glove that we sell to a lot of EMTs, city sewer employees, and mechanics.

PM me if you want to get some.

We clean meth labs for a living and have been through a couple different cycles of dealing with hand protection.

We're not currently using anything other than high quality EMS latex & mechanics gloves combination.

One piece of advice: don't put your hands where you can't see. Peroid.
