You can do this with your bare hands (wash thoroughly afterwards), as it's your own waste, there's no real contamination concern. I'd not do it for someone else's poop without wearing gloves.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

I worked as a janitor a while, when I was about 35 years younger, and I always wore rubber gloves/apron and facemask/eyeshields when working around biohazards. a little oil of peppermint went a long way towards ameliorating the stench. I remember when I was in the army, and I worked in the GU clinic, where all these old men would be getting their roto-rooters done, and one poor old senescent man mistook the dressing room for a lavatory, and he crapped all over the place in there, and one of the med techs went in there to investigate why he had not exited yet, and found the old man lying on the floor rolling in his crap and slipping when he tried to push himself back up, and it was all over the walls and floor and bench. without a word, the med tech turned on his heels and went for the biohazard suit, zipped himself up in it and went to work cleaning up that room. later on he said it was the nastiest thing he had seen, and this coming from somebody working in the blinking GU clinic! 
:eeew:
