Tending to bats all day can leave your hands in dire shape without the right protection. That's why the Supertouch Elite Rigger Gloves are completely built to resist the daily trials of bat care, with comprehensive bite and scratch protection.
How Do I Stop Bat Bites?
As the UK Bat Conservation Trust says, there really is no hard and fast rule when it comes to stopping bat bites, ultimately it comes down to personal conduct and preference in both animal handling and PPE. With these robust ST Gloves, though, you can at least be certain that you are giving yourself the best protection as you try to protect Britain's bats.
Why Should I Wear Gloves to Handle Bats?
While serious incidents involving bats are not common, the risk of contracting rabies when handling a bat is still a possibility and one you should aim to protect yourself against. Diseases aside, bites and scratches are also a general risk that you should guard against when handling any type of wild animal so it is highly advised that you wear gloves if you intend to be in direct contact with a bat.
