I have had first hand experience with infectious marine bacteria. A simple scrape on my leg during a shoreline collection trip got very nasty in only 24hrs. The Drs. were impressed at how agressive the infection was and required a three day hospitalization with constant IV antibiotics to control.

Hell he shouldn't have even survived the plane crash. He's got major luck on his side.

Booze, that pic is nasty! I almost lost my lunch

I use the talc free gloves from rite-aid. I need the elbow high ones for my new tank, which is much taller.

I found with the regular surgical gloves I almost always got water in the gloves either way... But it gives me a nice false sense of security. LOL.
