OMG I've been in your boat and it's not pleasant. My wife comes from a Mexican family and the first year I helped them can homemade salsa they put me on jalapeño duty (maybe it was a bit of hazing?). Anyway, I was in charge of de-seeding the little incendiary things. I had a red hot frank for the better part of two days. No amount of soap helped, in fact it made the situation worse. It's nitrile gloves for me from now on.
Oh man. I can feel the pain from here. It's a horrible thing. I think, despite my protestations, that it is the gloves for me too. I suspect it might have been a hazing for you to see what you were made of, you obviously passed with flying colours!
