I can attest to that, cut up 40ish large cayenne peppers one day to dry them no gloves either, my nose kept itching..... did you know Dawn dish soap is a MIRACLE cleaner !!! but does not help all that much unless you completely wash your hands too, secondary reapplication of the oils burns just as bad if not worse
Made that mistake once with my contact lenses. You will hit the floor in agony the next morning when you put them back in!
