    FYI, a lot of times the gear in the first photo is for the plants’ sake, not the worker. Plant cultivation facilities can be like a house of cards, where one little bit of mold, fungus, etc can ruin an entire harvest. Depends on the plants in question, though

      I recently visited a phlebotomist who, I noticed halfway through, didn’t use much in the way of protective gear. Afterwards I lamented this fact to a nurse friend of mine, who responded with basically the same statement but replacing “plant” with “patient.”

      I’m not sure I’m convinced. Medically, that is. I believe you about the plants.
