Is working on your car unhealthy?
 

Oil right out of the ground is probuly harmless but the oil and grease
used on cars has all sorts of additivies in it. In the last year i've
started to wear disposable gloves for messy jobs like oil changes or
greasing the front end.

Used to work without gloves and never had any trouble, and the guys i
see at repair shops never seem to wear gloves - but you never know.

Thank you. You are correct that there are warnings about doing such
stuff without protection. For really dirty jobs, I would seal my
pores up with a product like invisable glove. It helped in reductin
the about of lingering products on my hands after a job. Now durring,
unless I was at real risk of getting bad stuff on me, like a battery
job, I would wear gloves.

A quick google search will find suppliers of the product:

Keep on working without gloves; there's no harm in it. Actually, to be
a top-notch auto-repair dood, you've got to know the taste and smell of
the fluids in your car for proper identification purposes. Might I
suggest you start off with a swig of anti-freeze, to be followed by
some petrol?

When I want to have a good time, I usually stick to Peruvian marching
powder and hookers, but whatever floats your boat. Just don't fart
near open flames.

Aw, shucks! Those pretty blue flames are half the reason for injesting
that stuff.

Don't be such a pussy. I saw a documentary on old cars in Cuba and
there was an old guy who made brake pads - he used no gloves and
worked with asbestos. He said he knew it was hazardous, but what
could he do?

You will be lucky if you live as long as he has.
