It's also fat-soluble, which is why people often eat dairy products with it. Good to know, though.After handling hot peppers, I "wash" my hands with a splash of white vinegar then soap and water. Seems to work OK for me. The capsaicin in hot peppers is a strong alkali. A strong acid will neutralize it. Vinegar or lemon juice will do the trick.
