You may want to wear rubber gloves while chopping them to prevent your skin from irritation or burning.

How funny! - I can't touch it with bare skin and I am 'sposed to eat it? ;~D

Wow.... and I thought I knew spicy food.

The main reason you don't want it on your hands is that it will transfer to anything you touch. All it takes is forgetting once and rubbing your eyes. OUCH!!!! Eating it isn't the same as having it in your eyes!

Hey! I just got a call from the City of Auburn. The mayor wants to interview me tomorrow morning (they got my "stuff" this morning, and called right away).

So now I need to prepare, and I was already committed to the long weekend having already started.

Of course, Auburn would require a commute of some distance, and because of that, a move to Tacoma...but let's be open-minded here...
