Lab gloves are nitrile plastic, they haven't been latex in decades.

Huh, last I wore goves was like 8 years ago, and my coworker had to have her own latex free gloves.

There are still latex gloves around, they're just not that common

Can't use latex in any hospital and most labs avoid them because of allergy and higher costs.
