Key Usage Warnings

1. For Trained Experts Only: Handling venomous snakes, stingrays, or other dangerous animals which are capable of causing injuries through venom, poison, or strong bites, should only be attempted by trained professionals who accept full responsibility for their actions. These gloves are intended as a secondary layer of defence and should not replace proper handling techniques.
