I've been gluten three days in a row now and the only thing new/different in my life on those three days is the scotch tape I used to wrap presents. Does any one know if it is gluten free?
Thanks,
Regina

Susan,
Didn't occur to me it would be a problem so I didn't was my hands afterwards. Will try that next - but I'm one of the lucky ones who is very sensitive to gluten so I may just have to use gift bags from this point on.
Example of being too sensistive ... I've been gluten by doorknobs at work. Didn't figure that one out until I saw someone walk down the hall with a cookie in hand opening doors.

I've never heard of someone so sensitive to gluten. You are very unfortunate. I agree that in the future you should make sure that you maintain better hygiene and wash your hands before you eat. Good luck!

Scotch tape in general is gluten-free, but you'd have to call the manhufacturer to be sure. What brand is it?

The last I knew, scotch tape is already sticky, so you don't have to lick the back of it 
Just kidding
Ummm...Scotch is a brand name OK, I know what you mean, but I did get a kick out of that. It seems the name is used for practically any brand of clear plastic general purpose tape. Interestingly, "Scotch" was being used as an ethnic slur for stinginess - the original design had adhesive only on the edges, and a painter who was testing a prototype used it in a comment to the designer. It's cellophane tape AFAIK, though I suppose since the original, other materials might be used too. Apparently, DuPont trademarked that name though.
