It burned like fire

[cyrano]

Note to erstwhile kitchen witches:
When making a stew involving jalapenos and onions, after the prep work make certain to wash your hands, dip your hands in an autoclave, microwave your hands, and then scour your hands with steel wool.
And after that, still don't touch your eyes or scratch any bug bites.

When playing with the Rude Jalapenos, I put my hands in a plastic bag and work from there. No juice from the 'penos has been permitted contact with my skin since a bad going-to-the-loo experience.

'Nuff said. I'd have taken burning eyes, myself, having experienced both.

Yeah, I had a similar experience with Ben-Gay. All in all, I'd vote that 'eyes' was the worst of the two though, after charging around the house bellowing like a bull moose, head down, blind and slamming my head against doorjambs.

Ah. I've done the BG, as well...and still vote 'nads', due to the in-laws being present when I erred. I was disinclined to charge around screaming that my scrotum was suffering the fires of hell.

Oh, well, sure, in-laws. My family just laughed, and at least I could see; then I could read a book or watch television or something to distract myself.

I made the tragic error of trying to wash of the Ben Gay. With cold water.
