*Working with jalapeños or other chiles:
-Capsaicin is the ingredient in chiles that causes the burning sensation associated with fresh peppers.
-It's a good idea to use rubber gloves when handling fresh chiles. (Disposable surgical gloves, available at most drugstores, work best for this.)
-If you choose not to use gloves, be extremely careful not to touch any part of your body, especially your eyes.
-After you've finished handling the chiles, wash your knife and cutting board with hot soapy water to ensure that there is no carry-over to other foods that may come in contact with the peppers.
