| Hot Pepper.....help!!!! Okay, okay.....I just picked a lot of hot peppers and I was cutting some up to freeze....without gloves. I washed my hands with Dawn and I scartched my eyebrow....NOW my eye lid is BURNING!!!! I rubbed my hands with rubbing alcohol (in hopes to get the oils off), but is there anything that will get the HOT oil off my hands?

| Good question! That happened to me once and my parents put salene solution in my eye & that helped the burning there, but I'm not sure what you could use for your hands

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I'm trying to think ... a million years ago when I was in high school, I worked at a snack bar where nachos was one of the main attractions. I had this happen with an industrial size can of jalapenos that was spilled. I think I put rubbing alcohol on my arms and hands to neutralize it and then put solarcaine spray on. |

| The pain and burning seems to be fading away. I just hope that the rubbing alcohol takes the oils off my hands...as I haven't touched Mojo or Lily yet!!! - Don't want them to get anything on them.

No Longer a Member | I was going to suggest oil, but I see someone already mentioned that and it worked. The heat from peppers (capsasin) is oil-soluable. So it also helps to rub your hands with oil before you cut them. Also, if you get a soup or stew too hot with any kind of pepper, add more oil. |
