Is there a proper procedure before placing a bare hand and or arm into a freshwater aquarium?
Should some sort of glove be worn or soap used to wash with first?

You could, but personally I'm not that anal. It's a good idea to check all you electrical equipment or turn everything off so you are not shocked. I am a risk taker though, I guess...
Not that I am aware of, I generally wash my hands just to make sure that I don't have anything on them. Just make sure you get ALL the soap off.

Extinct? Since when?
I don't usually wash my hands after going in the tank, only after water changes when the junk is kicked up.
I agree with many. Make sure all electrical is off, wash afterwards. I've always been afraid of soap residue containing anti-bacterial stuff harming my beneficial bacteria. Not sure that could happen though? Better to be safe than sorry! :thm:
