Chilli burn

[stwat]

I chopped a load of my chillies up to roast them and grind them into powder. Washed my hands thoroughly for a good few minuets. Went for a waz. OH DEAR GOD WHY ?????? The pain

I'll remember to wear gloves next time !!:fail

Haha, been there, done that!!

I dry roast ours whole, we get them already sun-dried from a Thai friend. I roast them VERY slowly, about 30 mins on a low heat and then grind them up.

When I worked in the kitchens , I once wiped my sweaty brow with a cloth passed to me that had been used to wipe down a chopping board that had had chillies chopped on it.

The chefs thought it an excellent wheeze , while I had to go home , it was that bad.

Thought my head was going to fall off

Dog poo rubbed into the hands is the only cure mate. Sorry!



















Did the same thing a few weeks back. Cooking/Olive oil is your friend. Cup your hands and pour in plenty. Milk or yoghurt also works.

I've got some 6.5 million scoville ones at the moment, if you had those on your hands and went for a wee it would fall off, burns like Nitric acid

When someone offers you crisp next, drop a few chilli seeds in the packet and wait till they get to the end of the packet and up end it into their mouth to get the last few bits

Cracking joke at the local some years back.
