The discussion back and forth about the pros and cons of digital oral
assessment has been interesting.

However, I have noticed that most posters, pro and con, assume that the
finger goes in gloved.

I understand the principle of "universal precautions."  But is gloving in
fact safer all around than good scrubbing and using a finger without any
pre-existing cuts etc, given the possibility of sensitizing babies to latex?

Opinions welcome.
