Even in the research setting, we wear gloves for all cryotomy and all prion 
frozen and paraffin work, otherwise no gloves for paraffin.

One eventually learns to grasp a ribbon.  We use forceps when wearing 
gloves for paraffin ribbon - a learning curve, but I now use forceps for 
all paraffin work exclucsively.   I suggest using nitrile gloves over latex 
- but find one that fits nicely without cutting circulation to hands and 
fingers!
