@BBP: How are you wiping down your tools? I've been worried that there
isn't a reliable way to do this for a lot of our tools, such as the ones
with ratty old rubber handles.

@everyone: Can we get to sharing some techniques for hygiene in such a
physically complex environment? I'm struggling to envision, personally.

We do always have nitrile gloves on hand, and many participants use
them.
