Chilli Burn!!!!

[supersuezy24]

Help me.....was chopping chillis and washed my hands afterwards however i was itching my nose and now it's burning like hell...how do I stop it??

Soooo embarrassing..but please help before my nose falls off

Milk is the natural antidote for chilli. How you`re supposed to get that on your nose though would take a bit of imagination

[supersuezy24]

I'll try it i don't care hahaha...
AHHHHHH it burns!!!!

If you've got some plain yoghurt in the fridge, smear a bit of that on it. Or, you'll just have to bear with the pain until it goes. Poor you. Am wincing in sympathy!

[supersuezy24]

It worked!!!
Thank you so much 237sj.....trying to explain a milky cotton bud up my nose to my mam was quite funny

[Barmaid]

Look on the bright side suezy it was only your nose. I once had a bf to stay for the weekend and he thought he was a super chef. He cooked something with fresh chillies and later went to the loo................. I couldn't help I was laughing too much.

Good one! That`s why curry houses give you lassie after your meal!

[poodicat]

You mean the dog called lassie or a lassi?

I'm always getting toothpaste in my eye

[ummmm]

How do you manage that 4get?

[wiggal]

Toothpaste in your eye!? That is an interesting one!

I get Original source shower gel in my eye, and that really stings as it is mint & tea tree. Although it does make you go a bit tingly!

[4getmenot]

I brush my teeth at night and then go to take contact lenses out, sometimes I have a bit of fingers that gets in eye. cooling sensation

[ummmm]

Ohhh I see....

[Booldawg]

Toothpaste is also good in 'certain places'

[Moonstone6]

Stainless steel is supposed to remove garlic and chilli traces. If you dont mind looking odd, rub your nose round the kitchen sink!!!

Honestly!

[rowanwitch]

don't get concentrated original source mint and teatree shower gel on your girly bits.... not unless you intend to use the hypersensitivity for recreational purposes

[supersuezy24]

Think i'll stay away from chilli in future..My hand has two curious red, make that 3 curious blotchy red marks...my fingers are all on fire and my lips are too as is my tongue..have never drank so much water and milk in 2 hour period before...

[chokkie]

Next time, wear a pair of those thin latex rubber gloves then all you have to do when you've chopped the chillies is just take them off and chuck 'em straight in the bin. I also read that, if you smear your hands with olive oil before cutting/chopping chillies, that should stop all the stuff getting on your hands - or at least make it not quite so bad. Although all this advice is a bit late now, I suppose ....

[Booldawg]

waters no good suze. Milk is the best, something to do with lactic acid?

[supersuezy24]

Not at all Chokkie, It'll be useful for next time, although I think my body needs a break from chillies for a little while haha

[supersuezy24]

Booldawg...Had 2 pint glasses of milk too haha, also poured a little onto a cotton bud and put it up my nose hahaha worked wonders considering my nose was on fire...However not my most graceful moment hahaha
