Employee incurs hand infection while sampling ground water

At 11:00 a.m. on August 22, 2019, an employee was wearing nitrate gloves as he connected tubing in order to sample ground water at a well. At home later that day, he observed swelling of his hand. The next day he went to the hospital and was released within three hours. He returned to the hospital two days later and was admitted for treatment of an MRSA infection and cellulitis of the right hand. The infection was possibly the result of sweat infecting a pre-existing bruise while wearing the nitrate gloves.
