I can imagine it being worse for the ladies. Like a snail slimming over rock salt. Oucha.
I have tried many peppers but I always go back to habaneros or scotch bonnets for my chilli paste and in general cooking. It was scotch bonnets today. I was my hands like biily-o after cutting them but it doesn't matter. It lingers on them for hours afterwards and I am a terrible fiddler.
Thankfully, it's over now!
