Cook File:

Because chile peppers contain volatile

oils that can burn your skin and eyes,

avoid direct contact with them as much

as possible.

When working with chile peppers, wear

plastic or rubber gloves.

If your bare hands do touch the chile

peppers, wash your hands well with soap

and water.
