I still can't risk it. The employee puts on clean gloves. Cleans the knife. I'm fine there. Then they reach into whatever is next in your order, then the next, then the next, etc. What touched all of that stuff before the 'clean' glove? I'll stay with the place that washes their hands, and gets clean ingredients from the walk in. I love my Mr. Pita. My local Mr. Pita has gone to synthetic gloves vs Natural Rubber Latex gloves for food prep for me.. People mistake clean hands with clean gloves all the time. They will touch anything with gloves on and get that 'deer in the headlights' look, and say, but my hands are clean.....(but your gloves are dirty, contaminated.) Off topic. I am allergic to natural rubber latex, my son is highly milk allergic. I refused a blood draw last week because the tech didn't understand that the cotton balls, alcohol wipes, tourniquet, etc. she had previously touched with latex gloves could transfer proteins to me if she used them, especially once she pulled out a latex glove over a 'clean area' where she placed those so called safe items were placed. I watched in fascination at her ignorance, Actually that was the last straw for me, there were many other cross contaminations during that visit, . Yes, when I turned in my paperwork I told them I was anaphylactic to NRL. I left there taking Benedryl, washing my hands and arms, driving fast, showering, and not letting my husband leave my side if I need an ambulance. NRL allergy and accommodations is inexcusable among health care professionals. It can devastate them, but that is really off topic. Food workers are kids ready to learn. NRL can devastate them too. We need to reach all of them about all allergyies. On topic is that in the past I let this set of circumstances go and found myself in the hosp. That is not what I want for my milk allergic son. The premise is the same for me and my milk allergic son. Don't touch ingredients or products that have been touched by hands (gloved or not) that either of us are allergic to. Not everyone's allergy is as extreme as what we experience. All I have to say is if the allergy is moderate, don't risk it. Be super vigilant. My son did outgrow the dreaded peanut allergy because I was subervigient. In a message dated 4/26/2009 10:55:44 P.M.

We've never had a bad experience with a Subway employee but once a customer complained because he felt the server spent far too long on our subs ~~ it was false perception on that customer's part ~~ that was this past New Year's Day and the customer had miles to go and was likely panicky ~~ fortunately for us, there's sub places almost everywhere. regards ~~ gerry **************Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web.
