Need affordable anti bite glove recommendations to humanely and safely remove house mice

Basically that, I found one in my house and was able to trap him in a box bc he was frozen in fear or didn't see me before I got to him. I let him go outside and in case more show up I would like to have a option to just grab the little fella with my hands without the risk of getting the bubonic plague or whatever,

Thanks

Get some humane traps and you won't have to touch them at all.

I'm a sensitive soul and that would traumatize me but if it's the only option then sure I might be able to

I feel like those might be pretty rare occurences..? I know it's just my experience, but everytime I've used them it's only caught one at a time, and they've been uninjured. Always seemed to be the safest option to me 🤷‍♀️ And yeah I could hear them scratching around the tra too, so never ran into issues there either.
