They seem to be milder and stay very crunchy. As for the burning sensation, Dave, wear rubber gloves when cutting up chiles, and don't touch your eyes or any other sensitive body parts afterwards. Your hands will get accustomed to the burn after a while though, and you'll even kind of enjoy it :) Nancy
