Perhaps a strange question: Do you touch the tissue-slide while cutting?
Is this due to the technique with rotary-microtoms?

In our lab, we cut with sliding microtoms and take the slide with brushes.
So no contact with my skin. Also in the waterbath I avoid wet fingers. 

I think there is no need for using gloves here.
