Hi Eric,
Sorry can't agree with your statement. Snip:
But I think the moral of my story is to wash up a bit better after
handling
chiles, or just wuss out and use gloves.
My hands are heavily callused & I've processed fresh Habs for 4 to 8 hrs.
straight without ill effects to hands......but touch anything else & I'm
withering in pain. I put gloves on SO I CAN REMEMBER TO TAKE THEM OFF before
I do anything else.... Like go to the bathroom....or wipe sweat from eyes.
Sort of reverse disleslic,
Paul

Had those, too; much prefer them to chiles in the eye, actually.
