Sticky residue removal from sweet potatoes

I dug up some of my sweet potatoes today and I accidently cut one with the shovel. After I picked it up I have a sticky substance on my hands that won't wash off. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    It's natural latex. It probably just needs a little abrasive. Salt. Lava soap. Kitchen cleanser. Even dampened cornmeal. Or really smudge flour into it real hard. The flour will take bind with the latex, then you should be able to wash it all off.
