You can accomplish the same thing by chopping chiles, and that has the benefit of adding to taste.

I speak from experience. About six months ago I was chopping some serranos for a spicy Pad Thai I was preparing. About an hour later, during dinner, I touched the corner of my eye. I was blind in that eye for about 20 minutes.
Had the misfortune of having to pee an hour or so after chopping peppers. It would have been better had I drip dried that day.
I try to make a point of washing my hands after chopping hot peppers. Use liquid hand soap with no added water and scrub for 15-seconds. Identical for what I'm doing now for corona-virus protection, except I now make a point to scrub longer. That's a good way to remove anything oily or greasy from your hands. It's also instantly lethal to viruses, since the soap dissolves their outer structure.I always wear gloves when preparing meals and avoid getting hot fingers after chopping hot peppers.
It is day 24 alone with my husband and teen boys. (At least the dog is female.) I think I might break this one out on them. Just need to figure out the actual logistics to make it work.
I'm really sorry for laughing. Unpleasant doesn't even come close to describing your situation.
I once made the genius decision to taste a fresh banana pepper to determine if it was a hot or mild one. In spite of quickly drinking some milk I still had blisters on my tongue and the roof of my mouth.

What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
People in Dubai don't like The Flintstones
People in Abu Dhabi do.
If you ever eat something too pepper/chili hot immediately consume a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Milk does not really work.
I sent this to our realtor, who is also a good friend. Hope she finds it as funny as I did.
