Hazards to People and Domestic Animals

 

Example:

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear eye protection and waterproof gloves when handling this product.

When applying the product above can you wear your cotton gardening gloves?

Correct!

It is a very bad idea to deviate from the personal protection equipment requirements, not to mention against the label. In this case, cotton gloves would soak up the pesticide and expose you to that pesticide.
