Anyone who gets close enough to the durian to eat it would not be
likely to worry about the smell clinging to their hands or clothes, but
just in case, it might be a good idea to have a packet of disposable
plastic gloves available.

 CS> Humm, I have some gloves I can bring <g>.  Janice doubtless has a

If it is ripe enough to eat, no more tools beyond a strong knife and
leather gardening gloves should be necessary.

If anyone has ripe mangosteens they are supposed to go well with
durians - the yin and yang sort of thing.
