Never thought about that angle from wearing gloves. I had similar story with cellulitis I caught in Portugal. If it weren't for a doctor I was travelling with, my leg (or me) could've been gone.

It never occurred to me to prevent that with gloves in the gym... 25+ years in the gym and I learn something new.

Gloves to me prevent toughening of the hands and development of grip, but I guess that is not as important as preventing sickness…
