 O.K, here is a theory of mine, let me know if this makes
 any sense.
 
 Lets say I cut a bunch of peppers and rub my hands all 
 over them, then I go to wash my hands.  If I wash my hands
 in warm or hot water isn't there a good chance that my
 poors will open and trap some 'hot stuff' in there ?
 
 on the other hand if I wash my hands in cold water first,
 I can get rid of most of the 'hot stuff' before, then wash
 my hands in hot water later. >>

If you want, but I recommend wearing rubber gloves of some sort.  Gloves are
the first line defense against "HUNAN HAND".
