we grow pumpkins, and every time i've cut into one it's given that icky feeling - i think the sap might dehydrate your skin a bit too - i wash mine really well, then lots of hand cream for the next day or so


if i were more organised i'd wear gloves too - but usually don't think about it til my hands feel funny - i just kinda sigh at my forgetfulness and that i've let it happen AGAIN!
