hen handling animals, both stock and feral, gloves are a sensible precaution. For decades I dealt with feral creatures bare-handed and simply wiped my hands on grass or rinsed them with a splash from my water bottle. I was lucky in not for $39.66 delivered. In ordering gloves, you need to know your hand size. Once again, googling glove sizes brings up a variety of such information. Glove size is based on measurement around the palm of your hand, as per the photo and table. Wearing gloves when handling wild animals is a sensible and easily taken precaution. I invariably carry a zip-lock sandwich bag with a dozen or so gloves. Used gloves should be pulled off the hands, turning inside out in the process, with the contaminated surface inside. Tie-off used gloves and take them home for disposal in the rubbish. Please do not leave them lying in the bush.
