Have your old lady kick ya in the sac. That way your mind won't be on the pain in your hands.

Live and learn brother, live and learn. Last year I cleaned out about 40 Japs and a few Habs with no gloves. Why? Cuz gloves are for pussies, thats why. At least thats whay I said at the time. My hands felt like someone closed them in a car door. They hurt for 2 days, I kid you not.

That was awesome MH...never used gloves either....

[Wingman]

At this point wait it out and be thankfull you didn't go take a piss. I had a bottle od Da Bomb Final Answer I kept at work. 1.5 million scoville units of heat. One of my co-workers got into it without using gloves. I warned him about that. He put it in his noodle soup and then went to use the restroom. By time he got back to his desk he was heading back to the restroom in a panic.

Extremely hot peppers and extracts are no joke. But you know this. I wish you a speedy recovery. Hang in there!

I've always hear to soak the hands in milk to neutralize but the kick in the groan will work faster for sure.

You can gut it out, or rinse with rubbing alcohol or wd-40. Whatever you do, dont touch your junk, or any mucous membranes. Especially if they dont belong to you.....

[DDave]

Ow. As my 9 year old daughter would say, "Sucks to be you".

She hasn't really developed tact yet. We're working on it.

I don't have anything helpful to offer but one time I was at a Mexican restaraunt and I order chile reileno ( or however the hell you spell that ).

Anyway, I went to cut a piece and got a stream of juice right smack in my eye. Then, like a dumbass, I started rubbing it. I thought I was going to die or go blind right there in the restaurant.

Hang in there and I hope it feels better soon.

how about this:

at least 1/2 the time will bring comfort..........

You can gut it out, or rinse with rubbing alcohol or wd-40...

actually you might be on to something there.........i always heard lemon or lime juice. since capsaicin is alcohol or oil solualble it should work. all ya gotta do is fiddle wit yer olive in yer martini............

[ALX]

[Richtee]

Alcohol would help, as well as those manly man type handcleaners. Maybe even the pumice-containing ones... because it's soaked in a bit. Actually, by the time it's burning, it might be too late to stop it. Maybe lessen... or should that be lesson? it.

I guess we all do this to one degree or another ONCE ...hehe!

[blues_n_cues]

sprite or lemon juice works too.the milk is a good idea.
spices & hot foods were on modern marvels last night & explains it well.
there's a protein in dairy products that bonds to the capsaicin & effectively washes it away like a detergent.

Hang in there AC... yeah - that definitely SUCKS!! MH must have had a sonar thought collector above my house last fall.... I now use gloves!

I tried everything - milk, limon juice, mustard, hell I even googled it and and used a mixture of clorox. I'm not sure which one worked, but about a day and a half later, my hands... and my junk... quit burning!

all seems tyo be better now. my wife and I were watching Kevin Hart standup last night and we weere laughing so hard, i started crying. when my dumbass went to go wipe the tears, i forgot about the peppers. it hurt, i posted, and about 2 housr later, all was good. I only used about half a dozen japs and about 3 or 4 serranos. thank god, nothing more.
