fireman--- The best thing I have found to remove the burning is to wash your hands in rubbing Alcohol. You may need to wash them more than once. BUT IT WILL WORK !!! And wear gloves next time "ouch"

The best thing to do is not get jalapeno pepper juice on your hands to begin with. If you don't have an allergy to latex, get some powder-free gloves. Your local pharmacy will have these in boxes of 50 or 100. On the otherhand (no pun intended) if you handle a lot jalapeno peppers, you may want to invest in Disposable Polyethelene Gloves. You can order a box of 1000 for less than $12. Just search on the internet.

The reason the jalapeno get its spice and causes you to burn is the capsicum oil. Try using a oil/grease cutting dishsoap, or you can try hand lotion. I've also read that rubbing alcohol or anything with at least 75% alcohol will remove the oil. Next time, try using latex gloves (get the non-powdered ones).
P.S. Make sure you get all of the capsicum off your hands before you go use the little firefighters room... trust me on this one... ouch!

Have you tried a degreasing dish soap like Dawn? The peppers give off an oil which is a bugger to get off your hands. Believe me I found out the hard way when I had to take out a contact lens. Considering I am allergic to latex gloves, I had to do this bare handed, since I had no other gloves in the house.

attempt any of those products. Milk, Ice cream, Yogurt, Butter, Tomato Juice (or paste), any form of oil. yet in certainty any form of fat will bind to the capsaicium. the element that makes peppers warm.

Wear disposable latex gloves while you're preparing them. Many supermarkets sell these, as do restaurant supply houses and even hardware stores.

Wash them thoroughly with soap and water and make sure to use a nail brush. The oils can get under your nails and burn like the dickens if you rub an eye or scratch your nose!
