EN 420: General requirements for gloves includes sizing and a number of health and safety aspects including latex protein and chromium levels. Handling frogs without first cleaning your hands can be dangerous for amphibians! Soap, oil, and other chemicals are harmful to amphibians because their skin is delicate [2].

By 1440, in England glovers had become members of the Dubbers or Bookbinders Guild until they formed their own guild during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Glovers' Company was incorporated in 1613. [11] Sheepskin, also called shearling, is widely used for casual and country gloves. It is very warm in cold weather, and as a leather reversed, it has still attached wool on the inside. Gloves appear to be of great antiquity. They are depicted in an ancient Egyptian tomb dating to the 5th dynasty. [4] According to some translations of Homer's The Odyssey, Laërtes is described as wearing gloves while walking in his garden so as to avoid the brambles. [5] (Other translations, however, insist that Laertes pulled his long sleeves over his hands.) Herodotus, in The History of Herodotus (440BC), tells how Leotychides was incriminated by a glove ( gauntlet) full of silver that he received as a bribe. [6] There are occasional references to the use of gloves among the Romans as well. [5] Pliny the Younger (c.100), his uncle's shorthand writer wore gloves in winter so as not to impede the elder Pliny's work. [7]

Because amphibians are delicate, it’s best to leave them alone and admire them from afar. If you simply cannot help yourself, the paragraph below will teach you how to hold a frog. Pontifical gloves are liturgical ornaments used primarily by the pope, the cardinals, and bishops. They may be worn only at the celebration of mass. The liturgical use of gloves has not been traced beyond the beginning of the 10th century, and their introduction may have been due to a simple desire to keep the hands clean for the holy mysteries, but others suggest that they were adopted as part of the increasing pomp with which the Carolingian bishops were surrounding themselves. From the Frankish kingdom the custom spread to Rome, where liturgical gloves are first heard of in the earlier half of the 11th century. [17] Portrait of Mme. Paulin wearing gloves, Pierre-Auguste Renoir A glove commemorating the visit of General Lafayette to the United States in 1824. [18] Amphibians have a semi-permeable, membranous skin which contains a network of blood vessels where respiratory gases and other elements are processed. Leather is a natural product with special characteristics that make it comfortable to wear, and give it great strength and flexibility. Because it is a natural product, with its own unique variations, every piece has its own individual characteristics. As they are worn and used, leather gloves (especially if they fit snugly) will conform to the wearer's hand. As this occurs the leather of the glove will become more malleable, and thus softer and more supple. This process is known as 'breaking-in' the glove. Overtime wear spots may appear on certain parts of the palm and fingertips, due to the constant use of those areas of the glove. Creases and wrinkles will appear on the palm side of the leather glove and will generally correspond to the locations of the hinge joints of the wearer's hands, including the interphalangeal articulations of hand, metacarpophalangeal joints, intercarpal articulations, and wrists.
