OFF TOPIC but somebody with culinary experience help me!!!

[Caro]

I sliced up a shitload of jalepeno peppers without wearing gloves and now my hands are swollen, red, and burning hot. It's really unpleasant and I don't want to get high until I deal with it. I've washed my hands five times to no avail, and I don't have any burn gel or anything. Does anybody have any idea as to what I can do???!!!

get some sort of lotion... (hand lotion...) put it on a cloth wrap it around your hand and then put ice in aplastic bag and hold they ice against the cloth...

[Caro]

thanks, that does seem to temporarily relieve the pain a bit, but how am I supposed to get anything done? This sux.

[pothead_jaime]

your welcome

ya tell me about it... my hand that i burned hurts soo bad... damn it.. is ur hand any better?

[Caro]

after several applications of lotion and constant icing, it does seem to be getting better...I'm getting water all over the keyboard tho', that's probably not good.

[pothead_jaime]

ya probably... dont electricute yourself now... well good luck with ur hand...

i had no idea jalepenos had such power.

i would suggest getting high and then dealing with it. it'll ease your discomfort.

now, isn't soaking your hands in milk supposed to be soothing? would that apply to soy milk? i say give it a go and report back.

hey, at least you're not going blind!

aaah. You were right, GSF. What could I have been thinking. Now that I'm chillin, it's just a faraway tingle, with my hands intermittenly soaking in this ice-cold almond milk.


Seriously, thanks for the help, and sorry to the rest of you for making you read this thread!
