I don't know, man. I thought like that when I was a kid, then later, I worked with an older gentleman at a local tire store. Very cool old school brake mechanic. Taught me a lot. His wife suffered from some kind of degenerative muscular disease and he was her constant caretaker.....and also a severe alcoholic......but he was a good old soul. I felt really bad for him when he came up with some kind of petroleum caused skin irritation....that ended up turning into a serious cancer. All from decades of no skin protection. Made me a believer in good rubber gloves. I don't use them for everything, but I use them if I know I am going into some heavy grease or oil.
