1. I would not numb it because then you would not be able to tell when you had been cut. Just be more careful.
2. Hmm... I'm no chef but i would think numbing you're fingers would cause to cut yourself more often, even if you can't feel it!! Personally I always use powderless latex gloves if I'm working with a knife for a long period of time. ( cutting veggies, cleaning chicken, etc etc) The gloves have saved my hands many many times. As far as a numbing agent...if you REEAAALLY want to try it....you could always try a medical supply website or call you're Dr's office. They use topical anesthetics all the time. Hope I could help!
