I should probably do that. Feels like you can scrub your fingers pretty decently after cutting peppers, and there's still a bit of residual burn when you touch sensitive areas. Maybe it depends on the spice level of the pepper, but I don't generally go above habs for eating raw, so it's not like I'm chopping reapers or even ghosts.

I once scrubbed my hands like 4 times after cutting up jalapenos, went to the store to get a missing ingredient, and when I was leaving I rubbed my eye. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER.

It's the oils that stick to the skin, gets in the pores and is difficult to scrub out.
