Wear no synthetic materials while handling explosives. These may generate static electricity, and having melted plastic all over your 2nd and 3rd degree burns will complicate your treatment in the burn ward. Choose Cotton, wool, leather. None of these continue to burn with a flame after the flame source is removed.
To be clearer: Long sleeved cotton top and bottom. A long sleeved welder's heavy cotton shirt, a T-shirt, and a bandana to protect your neck above the collar. Blue jeans or heavy cotton work pants (Carharts are nice). Boots, not tennis shoes. WASH THE CLOTHES IMMEDIATELY WHEN DONE. They are a fire hazard, you could get a surprise later if you don't.
