Paul, does your rabbits have the wolf larvae? We just cut around the meat where it was when it crawls out and it's not a problem.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

OK, now that just sounds creepy...  :o
I'm mostly concerned with the tularemia that they can have, especially when it's a boom year in the population. It's just my over tendency to be cautious about them in the summer. If I didn't like to waste game I'd be sniping them from the bathroom window and feeding them to the buzzards.
You'd think that all the coyotes around here would thin them out better.. ?  ???

My advice is to always, always, remove your contacts before you handle any really hot peppers, especially if you are chopping peppers.  And when you don't remember to do that, just go ahead and throw away the contacts, they will still burn your eyes the next morning.  Ouch!

And don't touch your junk for about 24 hours after. Or 300 washes, whatever comes first!

Joe, more important then that is don't touch your wife's "junk". :'(
   Man Eddie, that must have been a mighty cold summer.... ::)

This is my biggest Pequin.  It's about 7 foot tall and just loaded with goodness.  As an aside, the "Pequin" and "Petein" are a bit different.  Pequins are roundish while the Peteins are more oblong.  The birds and the deer love them.  The birds can have all they want and you wont notice, but the deer will eat the plant plum to the ground so I keep them caged.  I eat them almost every day fresh off the bush, but I also freeze them whole, pickle them, and dry and crush them.  Hotter than young love!

Kyle, it depends on the pepper variety and many other factors put together.
But yeah , if you look on Youtube , there's a massive Dorset Naga pepper plant with over 300 peppers on it, check it out.

Kyle...It is huge.  Most of mine have gotten to 4 maybe 5feet tall.  This one is probably 7 1/2 feet.

Very nice slimbob, my grandparents used to some really big ones.
A couple of mine are starting to get some considerable size to them.
