Abstract

A mail opening bag for preventing infection of bacteria-by-mail includes a containing body, and a pair of gloves. The containing body has an opening, a transparent upper part, and sealing elements for sealing the opening. The gloves are received in the containing body, and are formed together with the containing body with the wrist portions thereof being connected to the containing body. The gloves have coarse surfaces at the fingertip portions for increasing the friction against a mail to be opened in the containing body. Thus, a user can be sure whether there is suspicious powder when opening mail in the mail opening bag, and protected against possible infection.
