I don't know if this trick would work for this purpose, but when I'm going
to work on my car and I know my hands will get heavily greasy, I coat them
first with a layer of hand cleaner gel, rubbing it in like a hand lotion.
When the dirt/grease gets in my skin, the cleaner is already under it. As a
result, the skin cleans much more quickly and easily. Maybe it would work
with the oils in pepper juice, too.
I never wear gloves. Often I just live with the hunan hand. I've learned,
though, that the way I handle the peppers can make a very big difference in
how much heat gets into my skin. If I am careful to avoid touching cut,
juicy areas, and hold the peppers by their skins, I can greatly reduce the
exposure. It depends on what the task is, though; sometimes the exposure
can't be avoided. In those cases, I at least try to wash my hands
frequently during the process, instead of letting the juice soak in until
the task is finished.
And of course, as we all know, as soon as your hand is contaminated, your
body will itch somewhere.
