<< and lastly gloves..... I am going to have hunan fingers for a month.
makes contact lenses a pain..... understand why Susan went to glasses
only..... maybe I am playing with the peppers too much..... but none of
the gloves seem to be working. if all that capsicum leaks through, why
as a nurse am I bothering to wear gloves around my clients???

WD-4o only seems to spread the burn.... lemon juice seems to make me
think I feel better but I still am able to spread the oil even If I
cant' feel it. 
I seem to have habanero finger tip pretty heavy.... oh the joy of peppers.

Leslie,

Steve had the same happen at the fields and was very careful when picking or 
touching the chiles.  I am having the same while processing, cutting, 
seeding.  I washed w/alcholhol as someone suggested, but just inserting and 
removing contacts is a hot burning red eyed business.

Asked DIL about the latex gloves, as she is a surgical nurse, and she says 
the ones I buy at Costco ARE NOT for surgical use.  She is bringing me some 
from her doctor to use as they are a different composition.
