Yeah grinding chiles is one of the hazards we live with when we make good
chile powder. Last fall I was cleaning cayennes and my missus was in the
family room 30 feet away, next thing she was asking what the heck I was
doing. She got blasted with cap' fumes. Now she makes me gring chiles
outside just like horseradush.
