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...

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.

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!
