You’re lying aren’t you! Do grown up people do this? I’m amazed.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve seeded them before using a knife more than my hands, and I never had any problems, but I will definitely take these precautions just to be safe.

smart trick, I’ve actually done the jalepenos=eyes more often than I care to mention; I hope this will help.

As soon as I read the title on this, I knew it would be about eyeballing. I’m so proud of you.

And/or rub your hands in some vegetable oil (cheap stuff is fine), then wash them. This works because the capcaicin sticks to the oil in the oil better than to the oil in your hands, (and way better than it sticks to stearates in the soap).

@ TKOMom, that is practical chemistry; knowing what to use to remove stains and “sticky” chemicals like capcaicin.

Well, given that TKOGrandfather was in the RN, gin-drinking runs in your family! :-D

Em, I’ve been there and done that. That’s what latex gloves were invented for. My bf does that, out of courtesy of me *ahem*

I feel your pain!
Recently I seeded a JALAPENO with my hands, washed them like 5 times (at least!) over the course of the night. Then, it was time to take out my contacts and my eyes just about burned out. DAMN CONTACTS! DAMN FAR SIGHTEDNESS!
Then of course, once I took the first one out I had to do the second. Ugh, not an experience I EVER want to repeat.
