Can I use them to prevent from being bitten? I work with a special need child and he's a biter.

Hahaha. If the child is Lucifer he won't be able to burn through. Might want to consider the welding gloves with padding for 30 dollars.or get them one something rubber to bite on but make sure it's safe. Maybe he bites to relieve pain and it just seems like a bad behavior. Cold drinks and ice cream too. Seriously. Get the cheap organic ice cream and put a gummy bear in it and make them chew it.

You can still feel through the gloves, but I don't think he could bite through them. I am an electrician and use them on cold mornings or when I am working with live electrical panels. You may consider a pair of leather cuffs for your wrists?

These sleeves are flame resistant and pliable. They may stop the child from piercing your skin. They are not stiff or thick. There is no thin wall armor in the weave. It is just a thicker weave to prevent burns from welding.

The teeth will not pierce through the kevlar weave, but the child will still be able to apply pressure, leaving you with bruises. I've used these to work with a dog that will bite when I groom him. After I started using these, he wasn't able to get through the skin, and I was able to not react to his bites- which made him stop. Hopefully once your kid realizes that bites don't get the same reaction from you, he will stop biting.

No, I don't believe so. These protect more against slicing or slashing movements. A bite may not break the skin, but could still cause some sub-dermal bruising.

Training is your best bet. However, pet stores do also sell products that would work - we got something to spray onto our dog to stop her biting repeatedly in one spot at the base of her tail.

I do not know if snakebite proof, I don't think so. They are designed for welding. I would google gloves that were designed for snakebites. There should be such gloves. I am thinking that there would be some maybe having an outer layer of cowhide with tightly woven metal mesh lined between it and a soft inner lining. Most poisonous snakes have long sharp teeth with a very strong hinged clasp once they bite, so fInd the right glove protection .

Since I bought them for my three year old nephews, they only have teeth marks but none have been bitten apart. They are really durable!!

I think these might slip off too easily and therefore not suitable for a toddler, there'd be a danger of choking. Maybe you can rub his fingers with something instead, like lemon juice, or let him/her wear fabric bandages on the fingers?

They aren't covered with cloth. They are a rubbery block. My grandson hasn't tried to bite any though. He's 15 months old.

I found that in addition to the advice offered by the other two answers, in my case it was VERY important to keep the drill level (on the same plane as the screw) to aid in getting a bite. It worked for me. Good luck.

I don't see why you can't.. unless your dog has some allergic reaction. My dogs have been sprayed on the mouth (judge at will) for doing things like snapping at hands over toys. It stopped that mess in it's tracks!!! There's also a Grannick's gell that I think is for fur biting though. I've never tried that.

I would think as long as you get the extractor pump on the bite quickly you could suck the venom out before it gets in the blood stream. I would certainly get to a doctor ASAP even after using the extractor for some anti venom.

These straws have no give at all. They are made of a thick plastic that will break; but, I'm not sure biting would cause it- as I've never bitten one with any notable amount of force. The only time I had one break on me was when it was jammed in my lunch bag and my bag was stepped-on.

I don't think so. I've only had a few kiddos attempt to bite them, and only one left toothmarks:)

Not that I could see right off, depends on how they attach to a cage. I'm sure you could come to some arrangement of it. I would be afraid of them chewing through the cage.

If they are old enough not to put them in their mouth,yes they are okay for children to use. If they aren't, the tip could come off if they put it in their mouth & they could choke

i would imagine the only issues would be the size not fitting tightly enough to be effective, and the child removing them. so, you could certainly try them. i dont remember what age my son was when we started using them. but i didnt now about the ages 3 and up part, so it might have been before then. i just cant remember!

That's a good question. Our grandson hasn't tried biting the pouch. He has chewed on the spout some when he was teething. It lost its circular shape but that didn't matter since we never have to use the caps anyway because he has finished the contents.

I would strongly recommend a real mouth guard, this pops on and off very easily, plus you need to worry about biting your tongue! Also most sports have pretty specific safety requirements.

I wouldn't think so. They're pretty tough, but something sharp could puncture them. Seeing as how fangs are meant to go through skin and hide, I wouldn't trust them.
