Its not the glue bond itself that is the problem, but what you end up
glued to. Even a small tube glued transverse to a finger , makes that
whole hand pretty useless.
I'll leave a pack of latex gloves next to the jam jar containing
superglue tubes and pack of activated silica gel.

Latex & Superglue. A recipe for disaster. What you want to use would be Nitrile gloves. Superglue has a near-instant affinity to latex, much less so to nitrile. SG sticks even more poorly to polyethylene gloves - such as the clear gloves that food workers often use. Also very cheap.

I'll swap the 2 latex gloves I'd placed over the jam-jar lid, with
poltyhene ones
