In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are talking about single-use gloves in preparation for next week’s interview episode with Steve Ardagh, the “Glove Guy”.
They expose some truly shocking truths about single-use gloves that most people can’t even fathom. I mean, who would ever think that most of the time these gloves are neither clean nor sanitary?
They also talk about the instances where gloves are misused and how they provide a false sense of security that ends up making things worse.
Lastly, they chat about something that will have you never looking at a piece of undercooked bacon the same again: tapeworms, more specifically tapeworm eggs in the brain.
