What do you work with? Some people that work with Brass actually will sweat a green tint that stains the sheets on their beds. When you sweat any chemical you come into contact with that is considered to the body to be a toxin will be excreted this way. Your hands will sweat a lot in latex gloves and whatever is in the sweat may react with either the powder in the glove or the latex itself.


You may want to try using a neoprene glove instead.The latex gloves I wear at work change color after I've worn them for a few minutes--what's up with that?
Probably because of the beads of sweat that seeps out of your skin comes in contact with the latex gloves you are wearing.
