<< and lastly gloves..... I am going to have hunan fingers for a month. makes contact lenses a pain..... understand why Susan went to glasses only..... maybe I am playing with the peppers too much..... but none of the gloves seem to be working. if all that capsicum leaks through, why as a nurse am I bothering to wear gloves around my clients??? WD-4o only seems to spread the burn.... lemon juice seems to make me think I feel better but I still am able to spread the oil even If I cant' feel it. I seem to have habanero finger tip pretty heavy.... oh the joy of peppers. - --leslie >> Leslie, Steve had the same happen at the fields and was very careful when picking or touching the chiles. I am having the same while processing, cutting, seeding. I washed w/alcholhol as someone suggested, but just inserting and removing contacts is a hot burning red eyed business. Asked DIL about the latex gloves, as she is a surgical nurse, and she says the ones I buy at Costco ARE NOT for surgical use. She is bringing me some from her doctor to use as they are a different composition. Mary-Anne
