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.

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? |

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. |
