Hunan is a Chinese province, which like Sichuan is noted for it's 
spicy foods. If one chops up chiles and fails to remove the 
capsiacin from the hands and then touches areas of the body like 
the eyes or other areas containing mucous membranes, one 
experiences the effects of "Hunan Hand".

China is 4th in world chile production after India, Mexico and 
Indonesia according to Dave DeWitt in his new book,"The Chile 
Pepper Encyclopedia".

.I'm old but not this old...how did "Hunan Hand" get its name?
