Yes that is exactly what they worry about. Technically he is to glove when putting needles in and again after the run when holding his sites.
But they aren't sterile gloves..and it's not like he is picking his butt during the run... I really don't see the point.
Besides, how is he to take the gloves off when he is down to only using one hand, once the machine is running??
He's got some touchy pressures. one arm bandit while running.
I tortured him this week, he asked for his peanuts to snack on.. they come in a plastic jug with a screw off lid.
Handed him the jug, walked away and smiled- muahahahha
Heard him exclaim " I can't open my nuts with one hand"
yes I know, we have the humor of a 13 yr old boy.. but it was really funny at the time.
