Bourbon,Indiana | Steve,
The natural oils on your hands are acidic..... I cannot remember to what power though.
Look down the page to "sebum" & composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_gland#Sebum
When taking my soil tests I have made a habit of using nitrile gloves to make sure I do not accidentally skew results.
The same for taking tissue samples. Usually it is very hot & don't want the sweat running down my arms to affect my samples. (notice the gloves on van dash).
