Trust me....the only safe way is to wear Nitrile Gloves
Pussies. Cut those hotties up and hope for the best. Aint nuthin like a little bit of chilli S&M
hahahah, so I thought tooo, till last time it lasted for around 30 hrs and 2 trips to the emergency rooms....
still had the pain in the hands (but they got me off my face on pain killers)
+2 on the Nitrile gloves. The capsaicin doesn't burn my hands. It's what I TOUCH that hurts!
Nova...you better watch that cursing. You might offend someone...

You better watch my POOPER!!
Who ELSE is gonna tell me if it's HOT?
+100 on Nitrile gloves and NOT latex. However, Nova uses his buttcheeks to hold said pepper while chopping. Now that's a man!!!
Why not deseed them with your teeth? 
Agree on the gloves, my hands will burn for 4-5 hours if I cut up a good amount of some really hot ones. Plus it's inevitable that you're going to touch your face at some point. And you're going to have to go to the bathroom at some point, and you're probably not going to remember to not touch your Peter Pepper when you do it. 
lol...i think NOT using gloves is a right to be worthy enough to even be around said peppers...better walk the walk to talk the talk 
LET IT BURN!! 
LET IT BURN!! Nova is so tough his rice bubbles don't go "Snap, Crackle, Pop" they go "Hush here he comes".
Yup and i gave up sleeping years ago, now i just wait.....
