    I'm not sure if either of those would damage the skull's ability to macerate well!

    I was definitely wearing gloves... but a blade or tooth won't care if you're wearing them. Something that came up with the ER nurses and doctors, as well as my coworkers, was the idea of using fillet or butcher gloves like this:

    And it's looking like a worthwhile investment... certainly cheaper than all the meds and IVs. Today is the last day of my antibiotic, though, and I'm proud to say that the thumb is completely healed at this point!

    I have a set of those chain mail gloves that I wear when fileting fish on my boat. Never thought to use them for anything else. Guess I will now. And I highly recommend them.

    How much do they run a pair sea wolf? Where's a good place to buy?

    Geez .. the pair I have I have had for several years. I bought them at a local sport fishing shop. They were sold for fileting fish and shucking clams/oysters safely. What I see online now looks like they got expensive. Try a search for "Cut proof gloves" or "Chain mail gloves". I saw them on eBay and Amazon and some other places. If you dig around hopefully a set or seller will have them for an affordable price.

    As a wood carver I have a glove that is cut resistant or cut proof, that's what I use. They have saved me a few cuts, but then I think oh its just a little bit to trim off and don't wear it. Sure enough I usually get a knick.
