Have you ever sliced a jalapeno pepper? I recommend wearing gloves. The other day we made dinner from HelloFresh. It was a chicken fajita recipe and it was really good. I had to slice a jalapeno and remove the seeds. I rinsed my hands off and did not think much of it. HUGE MISTAKE!
Pretty soon my hands started to burn, so I washed them thoroughly. Later that night, I was getting ready for bed and I took out my contacts. My eyes started to immediately burn. I actually screamed out in pain. I had to get a washcloth and press it to my eyes. I looked up how to remove the juice from your hands: scalding hot water & soap, scrub vigorously, and then put rubbing alcohol on your hands. It worked!
Sadly, this is not the first time this happened. This happened way back in like 2011. Lindsey bought a bunch of sweet peppers from a farmers market. The lady there told her they were sweet and great for stuffing. I stuffed all of them and when I was finished, I went to the bathroom to pee.
During dinner, Lindsey and her dad said the peppers were somewhat spicy. I did not noticed because I was having a burning feeling in my crotch. It was actually becoming unbearable. I did not want to say anything though, how awkward would that be?
Then I looked up and saw that Lindsey’s dad was sweating from the peppers and I took a bite and noticed that some of them were super hot (apparently half were spicy and the other half were sweet). It hit me what happened. I touched my pee-pee with those juice covered fingers when I was relieving myself! Valuable lesson learned.
It was great having to run up to the bathroom and scrub myself in order to stop the burning.
Did something similar one year ago on memorial Day and ended up running my face under the sink at a party.
Hahaha at least it was just your face
