I know I've posted this before, and possibly others have as well, but it's been a while, so: In Jean Andrews book "Peppers, The Domesticated Capsicums", she recommends a mixture of five parts water to one part chlorine bleach, to dispatch the oil from your skin. I have tried this method in the past, and found it to work wonders. Not such a good remedy if your problem is "Hunan eye", perhaps. Good luck! -- Erich C-H # 2099 & First Lieutenant of the Moderate Corps
