No, but I do have one concern. I'm doing this work without gloves. Last time I dealt with peppers I washed my hands for a LONG time and when I popped my contact lenses in my eyes caught on fire.

Does anyone know a trick to neutralizing pepper in your fingers besides soap and water?

A strong base will neutralize the heat of peppers on your skin. Like Clorox in water, or alum powder (used in pickling) in water. Or use "cal", the lime powder used in traditional Mexican cooking to treat corn (what turns it into masa).
