I wear gloves when I can. I have some of those long up to the shoulder ones and they are great. I also use laytex gloves for fraging etc but not always. I bought a pair of those long tongs a couple months back. Those are awesome and I rarely have to put my hand in the tank know.
Cheers

if you just looking to protect your hands from bristle worms and such and not worried about keeping your arms dry as well, go to a industrial supply type place and look for a box of the blue nitril disposable gloves.

I wear latex gloves handling corals and such but when it comes to the big stuff (rock) I wear the big heavy duty coralife pink & purple ones

How does one find out if they have this disease? My hands are always in the tank, without gloves.
How could I find out? Or get tested? I should just steal a box of latex gloves from work.. there free.

well if you get large dime size lumps on your hand( generally by your joints) then I would consider going to see your doctor. I had to go see 3 doctors here until one said that it was not calcium buildup and referred me to a dermatologist and he knew right away. If you have cuts on your hand you are at more of a risk.
Sorry SEASHELLS .. I am not trying to steal your post I just wanted to add my experience with not wearing gloves.
