I hope this helps for the concerned out there.

Latex gloves DO NOT protect against Organophosphates they get through some how (don’t ask me how I am an engineer too not a chemist) then when they are trapped between the glove and your skin as more get through the latex the concentration increases.

In aero oil the really nasty component is Tricresyl Phosphate CAS RN [68952-35-2].
