Since there has been a rise in the number of Deer that have been struck down in an outbreak of EHD (epizootic hemorrhagic disease) hunters are being asked to use protective gloves. There has not been any evidence that this disease is harmful to humans. However we at DonTheGlove believe that it is better to be safe than sorry. We enjoy working with our customers and want to keep them safe. The deer that are infected with this disease are not suitable for consumption due to the deterioration of the meat. Deer contract this disease from biting gnats found in or near water and muddy areas. Symptoms of deer that have EHD are: unresponsive to humans, sores in the mouth, and blue tongues.

While you are out hunting for that great venison carry some protection for your hands.
