Those gloves should work, unless they are exceptionally thin. An industrial supply store will have latex and nitrile gloves in thicknesses from 9 mil to 60 mil. You could also try latex/nitrile compound gloves, neoprene, butyl, Viton, PVA coated, and silver film gloves. Most come in varying thicknesses. Be sure that you are not contaminating your hands before you put on the gloves just by handling the intact peppers. There's little worse that putting on impervious gloves with a caustic or allergenic substance on your hands. Be sure that you don't have a latex or other allergy.

I have a question for anybody who plays with or grows any of the super hot peppers. I have some latex gloves, and nitrile gloves, and have doubled up with them on occasion, and still get the "hot hands". Anybody know a secret, or know the brand or type of gloves I may have overlooked? Sterling Kaiser
