A good "buy some time" solution for the Hunan arms is a topical pain relief 
med like Solarcaine or Bactine.  If it works on sunburn, it will work on 
chiles :-)

If your bottling temp is good, the boiling the clean bottles is a bit of 
overkill most times.  Reasoning it out- the 195 F you're taking the sauce up 
to to kill the bacteria will also kill any that might have strayed into the 
bottles.
