Latex gloves are just fine as long as *you* aren't allergic to them. I've
been using latex gloves for 20 years and prefer their tactile sensation  to
that of Nitrile by a long shot. I wouldn't stick them in hydrochloric acid,
nor concentrated NaOH, but for common photographic chemical purposes they
work quite well.

I spend the extra postage to purchase PMK premixed -- the concentrate lasts
years, and as has been said, the only real danger is when using the powder.
