You have my sympathies. I am reminded of the tablets that dentists used to hand out to children. We were supposed to brush our teeth as we normally did, and then chew up the tablets, and look at our teeth. Imagine our surprise to find discolored stuff all along the borders of our teeth, showing that we hadn’t brushed well. I suppose that handling peppers and then handling peckers is a similar learning experience.
