I would say use what you have. And in the end anaphylaxis is treatable and death isn’t.

I’d like to recomend North American Rescue Products excelent Nitrile Bear Claw Glove Kit. This is a low cost “bag” of 25 pairs of gloves packaged in pairs, great for BOKs, FA Kits, your man purse, etc. The gloves are strong, free of allergens, allow great dexterity. My BOK is currently packed with Black Talon gloves from NARP. I also carry them as a street cop in Washington DC and carred they as a Combat Medic. I have yet to have a pair tear under any circumstance. Link is:

those are great gloves but my only qulam with them is that during a heat of the moment situation the gloves are very difficult to open. They are especially difficult to open when they have been in a bag through changes in temp.

Although my experiences with these gloves were in the Afghanistan. Probably the worst environment to work in next to arctic conditions.

With the British Red Cross here in Scotland, and I’m pretty sure all over Britain, we only use nitrile gloves. In fact, with any ambulance, first aid or pharmacy service I’ve ever worked for, we’ve only ever used nitrile gloves. I guess its just to absolutely 100% avoid any risk of killing a patient with them and to avoid any risk of sensitisation of workers (which can lead to sick days, legal problems, compensation, requires health and safety investigation, loads of paperwork etc). Nitrile gloves over here are about the same price as latex gloves (both ~£5/$7 for a box of 100). Even if you don’t cause anaphylaxis in a patient, you still stand a chance of them coming in to the first aid post with a blister and leaving with a horrible rash. For that reason I’d only use nitrile gloves unless I really had no choice.
