Working With Hot Chilies
Make sure to wear rubber gloves when handling dried or fresh chilies.  Be very careful not to touch your eyes or face after touching the chilies. Keeping the chilies under running water while you work keeps the fumes from getting in your eyes.
This is a good use for disposable gloves. (Do not use gloves with Talc).  And do be sure to wash your hands carefully with soap and water after handling fresh or dried chilies.
