Medical gloves around the house

I like to have a box of medical gloves to use around my house.  As they said on a recent NBC.com video, they are great when cleaning toilets and other dirty places.  I can put them on when cleaning out the cat box or putting medicine on the dogs and cats.  I think they are a great item to have in the home first aid box. A person never knows who might be visiting and have an accident where they start bleeding.
Latex gloves make a great skin  barrier against the harsh chemicals I use to clean soap scum off of the bathtub and shower.   This keeps me from getting exposure to the chemicals.   I also keep a pair of gloves in the glove compartment of my car for emergencies while traveling.   There are many home uses for medical gloves.
