Best Answer

Raw taro contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation when they come in contact with skin. Basically, the crystals are like powdered glass, and they can cause tiny lacerations on your skin (or mouth, gullet, etc) which lead to inflammation and sensations of itching and burning. Cooking destroys the crystals, and it is best to use gloves when preparing taro.

Why does the Queen of England always wear gloves?

The Queen wears gloves because a proper lady is never seen out of doors without gloves and a hat. Also, it was deemed improper for a lady to touch a man without gloves because of the fear that it would cause a man to become amorous by the mere touch of feminine skin. In history, reputations were very easily damaged over small things such as no gloves or dancing with the same man more than 2 times at a ball without there being an understanding between them.
