[Histonet] Gloves ... a question

[Robyn Vazquez]

I have never worn gloves and I have never had a pathologist complain of skin cells on my slide either.

I once had a pathologist complain dead skin cells on  his slides when he saw 
that I did not wear gloves when I was cutting.  Anyone else ever hear this 
from a pathologist?
