Good article!!
I handle Caribbean Red Hots every so often, as a matter of fact I just picked a bunch and pickled them.
I learned long ago never to touch them!! I don't use gloves, but simply cut them with a scissor off the plant on to a bowl/ plate. I usually use a small knife in each hand, cut what needs to be cut while leaving the kitchen fan running. Wash both knives and plate and the scissor immediately under soapy water and throw into the dishwasher.
I find that only one of those hot peppers is sufficient to impart heat and flavor to a whole pot of chili, goulash whatever I am preparing.
I handle other hot peppers similarly/very carefully!!
