It burned like fire

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.

ooooooo! Poor puppy!

It's a oil, so wiping them with rubbing alcohol helps get it off. (Gack. Your HANDS, not your eyes.) Heh. Although dipping your hands in tequila would not be out of line when working with jalapenos...

A cousin of mine once forgot to wash her hands after working with peppers...before she changed her tampon... with expected results.

Ow! Or alternately, wear some nice disposable latex gloves to do the dirty work.

Owww! I'm so sorry!

I had a scary experience once... Pre-kid. I was making salsa, hubby turned on cinamax softcore porn. I took a break, one thing led to another, ow oww oww oww!

Oh, honey.

Milk, if you don't have rubbing alcohol or tequila...

*hug* Poor sweetie.

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.
