What happens if you don't wear gloves in the lab?

If you don't wear gloves in the lab, you risk direct exposure to hazardous chemicals, biological agents, or toxic substances, which can lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions, or more severe health issues. Additionally, handling materials without gloves can contaminate experiments and compromise results. It also poses a safety risk to others in the lab environment. Overall, not wearing gloves undermines safety protocols and increases the likelihood of accidents.
