Hope it's getting better, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&. That sucks...

Thinking about gloves as well - talked to Jim White earlier this year and also trying to get my head around what little info there is about mycobacteriosis (been seeing a number of the schoolies I've caught with lesions and nodules). I'm wondering if the slice/puncture resistant glove that is used in the food industry (and good for filleting) would work. If may be a lot of grief either trying to wear it all the time or put it on when landing a fish.....

At the moment I'm leaning toward using my (Berkley) lip gripper and pliers a lot more, and I have that large bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the car for a prelim wash-down when I stop fishing. Washing hands when home as well.

All the best and hope that you're back to fishing soon.
