For example: Touching grease with a fingertip, then touching something
else with that same fingertip. Whether gloved or not, the second object
has just been cross-contaminated with grease.

Similarly, getting acid or bacteria on your gloved hand then
touching your nose or eyes with the glove. Your eye or nose has just
been cross-contaminated with the acid or bacteria that adhered to your
gloved hand and transferred.

Or handling sterile objects, scratching an itch on your face, and
continuing to handle the objects, which have just been
cross-contaminated with bacteria from scratching your face.
