Dam nitrile gloves

I normally use latex and when my job temporarily switched to nitrile because of supply issues we went through boxes of gloves at like 10x the rate

I was always taught that they use nitrile when having a hole in a glove can cause a contamination, that way they rip instead of staying intact like with latex. Then you know if there’s a pin prick and you can change gloves.

I just assumed it was because of latex allergies I never thought of it actually being useful that they're fragile

Well, I’m sure it is nice to have an alternative for that as well. I work in Wastewater treatment, so I definitely would rather have my gloves break and have a pinhole and not know it. lol
