       Ouch! Been there, right enough...... At the moment I've got some
habaneros that I was gifted with that I'm trying to work up the courage to
deal with! In additon to the milk listed by someone else you might try
vinegar. It's supposed to disolve the essential oils, I believe. Pour a good
dollop in your hands and scrub them well. Rinse and repeat if needed. Seems to
work pretty well for me--but I'm not sure it's equal to habaneros! ;-)
