chilli oil - oww!

How do you get chilli/capsicum oil off your hands?

I've just made a big batch of harrisa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harissa) and after peeling the chiilies/capsicum, my hands were covered in the residue. Scrubbing brush and soap leaves the hands smelling clean but if I put my fingers anywhere near the lips, I can still feel it - they were HOT chillies.
Next time I'll remember to wear gloves:burnt:

well capsaicin (http://www.chilliworld.com/chilli_FAQ.asp) soluble in fat, alcohol, benzene, ether, petroleum. Good luck.
I once soaked some birdseye chillies in some oil, then made fried rice with the oil. It was inedible. Though maybe if I left the seeds out it wouldhavebin okay

and just bought this fantastic sauce (http://www.chilliwillies.com.au/) , comes with a heat rating, I have the aussie backburn

Cucumber will ease the burning from hot chillies.Just peel and rub it on.

Be careful if you need to go to the toilet after making Chilli Sauces etc; as you will soon get snapped back to attention. LMAO
