I rinse with steaming hot water before I put my hands in the tank, no soap, just to be sure my hands are clean.
After cleaning/maintenance I do the same thing, only I add some soap to the mix. Its not that I think the tank is dirty, there's just no reason not to.

Yep and usually have to change my shirt too since I always manage to drown myself when cleaning or rescaping.
Wife is a nurse and she has some horror stories about bacteria picked up from aquatic environments. Not saying I still don't drink my fair share of tank water, but try to wash when I am done. Also always wash well before so nothing gets into the water from me.

i always used to just use a length of clear hose to do a water change and suck on the pipe to get it going and have swallowed a small amount of tank water before, never did me any harm ,and no i don't usually wash my hands after unless i'm making food, i know i probably should really.
i'm a mechanic by trade so i do wash my hands before they go in the tank, i'm more worried about my fish catching something off me

Before and after. Because of all my tanks, my hands and nails stay jacked up. The minute I lotion them up, I have to wash the lotion off just to mess with the tanks again for some reason.
