I did this recently, peeled a bunch of lemons in a fermentation experiment. The ones I peeled were extremely difficult to peel relative to oranges and tangerines. The tendency of peeling to cause a minor hangnail was particularly painful after around half a mason jar full.

The worst part was that the batch got mold contamination after the first 2 weeks and totally ruined all the effort.

Both of these problems you had are why you should wear gloves and sterilize all equipment before fermentation experiments.

I think it would be extremely difficult to peel a lemon while wearing gloves

Fair, nails are extremely useful. They also contain a lot of bacteria that can ruin fermentation experiments. Other tools exist.
