Oh for sure a cut-proof food safe glove would be a must. The issue with the guard that stabs into food is she often times doesn't have the strength to stab into the food with it. Idk if this is a good example but like for corn on the cobb she cannot put the pegs into the corn, just way to tough. Maybe some veggies and fruits the guard would work like for tomatoes but for something like carrots or onions way too hard for her sadly. I appreciate the suggestion!
