Touching your face after chopping peppers is such an insanely good idea, I don't know why more people don't do it. It's really safe, and there's virtually no risk of anything bad happening at all, and what's the worst that could happen?
i went ahead and tried this out, since like OP said, whats the worst that can happen? i gotta say though, the results are better than i could've ever expected, especially since i only just touched my face after chopping peppers. i really couldn't be more pleased with my results and i look forward to trying it again and again, with all different kinds of peppers and techniques too!
