No it won’t, lol.

Even quite mild buffalo chips have left enough stuff still on the skin after scrubbing thoroughly with soap that touching my leg after had a noticeable burn. That’s just very mildly flavored powders combined with the greasiness of potato chips.

When you get talking about actual pepper oils...no, just no. A simple handwash that would be adequate after toileting isn’t adequate for handling peppers!

No. I mean yeah, wash your hands w/ soap & water for the obvious bits & then dairy products, like milk or I suppose sour cream, for neutralizing what’s caught in your cuticles. Use milk fats to absorb pepper oils.
