    Two of them:

    One was a job weatherproofing windows...in other words, scraping nasty gray gunk off a window.

    The other was working as a nurse aide...wiping brown gunk off of gray behinds...

    Both required latex gloves. The weatherproofing job also required an apron.

    Yes, when I worked in the palliative care wing of the hospital. A lot of the patients were terminally ill with very weak immune systems, and some were in such a vulnerable state that I needed to wear protective shoes, gloves, mask and plastic suit over my clothing just to enter the room to give them medication.
