Wear gloves when working with them because the oils stay in your hands and even after you washed your hands you can still get them in your eyes and other places if you rub.
Here are just a few that we picked from our garden last year. My husband dried them and made his own chili powder that is still sitting in a jar in our refrigerator. Every time I open the jar to use some I end up sneezing and my eyes water. It makes the best pot of chili and I also use it to season taco meat.
Ummmmm, years ago, my ex was cooking with hot peppers, and even though he’d washed his hands there was some residual spice on his fingers when we started fooling around later. That killed the mood really quick!
