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!

Yep,  always wear rubber gloves to handle hit peppers!

    One thing to remember, is to keep your different varieties of peppers separated.  They will cross breed.  Yep even bell peppers.  My neighbor's son raises datil peppers in St. Augustine, and he said to keep the different varieties apart.  The Puerto Rican Scorpion pepper is the hottest, even more so than the Ghost peppers, which have a scovil of 1,000,000! :o :o :o :P

I'm a pepper man.  Love the darn things.  I have 2 Chili Pequin bushes growing beside my house.  They grow wild here in the Texas Hill Country.  Small but they pack a wallup.  I have hundreds and hundreds on my bushes right now.

@stickbender , that's all about genetics.
Cross breeding will not damage the plant production at all, it will only change the genetics of the produced seeds, meaning that if a hot pepper was cross pollinated with a bell pepper, the seeds will produce a different plant with a fruit that's less in heat.

If you plan on using the seeds from the peppers , don't allow cross pollination.


However I love creating new types of peppers, by cross pollinating two hot peppers you will get a daughter plant with the two characteristics and different color blends.
It's beatiful to see nature developing in different ways.

That's how peppers like the Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper's have been created , by cross-pollinating.

Peppers are my favourite plant to grow in my backyard.

I've grown jalapenos, anahiem peppers, and poblanos here for years with nary a problem. Except this year the zarking rabbits have decided that the plants are just sooo tasty.  >:(
I had to replant and cage pepper plants  for the first time ever. Come the cold there will be rabbit stew on the menu here. By any means necessary...

There's no closed season on rabbits here but it's not considered a good idea to eat them in the Summer. I can wait...  >:D
