Apparently I am supposed to wear gloves before handling hot peppers.

Soak them in milk! That's what I've had to do. If the milk doesn't seem to help put them in some viscous oatmeal.

you handled Habanero peppers without protection? Ouchies.

It was just jalapenos and it's just burning the back of my hand near the knuckles. It's all red and irritated. Ugh, I'm so glad it wasn't Habaneros. I would be screwed right now.

it is what helps soothe the burning feeling faster.

So glad I know now. Lol
