I use dried habs and crush them up by hand adding them to some sauces or 
some chicken with rice I'm boiling up.  I now wash those hands immediately 
after crushing, not so much because of any pain I might experience 
immediately, but because of the reaction I felt when I "adjusted" myself 
much later in the evening.  Once burned, twice wary. :-)

I'm reminded of the milk joke that ends, "I didn't realize that's how you 
filled them."  :-)

P.S. Rubbing your eyes after crushing some dried habs will also get you 
to "see" the wisdom of either washing your hands or wearing gloves.  :-)
FWIW, I use Dawn detergent when washing.
