I totally agree. I use powdered Ajax or Comet. It's basically bleach and it works better than anything I have ever used for Hunan anything. I handle a lot of chile seeds and powder and more than once have managed to stick a chile covered finger in my eye. Jean Andrews book "Peppers, The Domesticated Capsicums" suggests using chlorine bleach on your hands and even gives the formula which causes the capsiacins to dissolve. I don't think that bleach is the greatest thing to pour on your body parts but I have to say that it sure works. Dave Anderson Tough Love Chile Co. Http://www.tough-love.com
