Damn I cut some Chili peppers and then had a itch in my eye :(
 

So here I am making Spaghetti, Shrimp, Garlic and Chili for our dinner tonight, when I had a massive itch in my eye. So (you guessed) now I have this really bad stinging in my eye, no amount of water seems to solve.

Whats the solution as right now I feel like I'll never be able to open my left eye again :( :Oh crap

Not good...

Another not so good:

I was cooking up a dish and without thinking about the consequences I threw 5 tiny chillies into a pan of hot oil. Instantly cleared the house of all guests and family members...

It basically turned into an invisible pepper spray aerosol.

It sucks getting an eye irritation like that. But, to all the men here who like to cook with spicy ingredients, don't take a piss unless you wash your hands...trust me!

Ouch! Well, when it's being EATEN instead of rubbed in the eye.. MILK helps block the receptors on the tongue. I have utterly no idea if a milk eye wash would help, maybe search it up on the googles.

Wow I've done all 3 of those things.

cut peppers, rub eye
fry peppers, tear-gas myself and family
cut peppers, take a leak and burn the shaft

keep flushing it out with water and it will pass... good to wear some gloves or use a zip lock over the hand when cutting those up... these days i don't even bother cutting them up i put them in stuff whole.. less mess this way and still gets the flavour in that you need...

Yea for sure. I cut up some red chili and then went to put in my lenses, that was awesome :Oh crap

good times :thumbsup

Could have been your asshole that needed scratched ...

Poison Control here will tell you to place your eye under running water for 5 to 10 minutes.

Happened to me with habaneros when I was a teenager. It was so bad my mom called Poison Control and they answered saying, is this about Hunter again (thats me)

had a girl blow me after she took tequila shots with jalapenos in them, second most painful bj of my life :(

Now imagine getting sprayed in the face with police grade pepper spray.

My ex-gf and I made some cheese dip with jalapenos and habaneros in them. She cut up the peppers, then went to change her tampon.

You can imagine how that felt :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Second?? :Oh crap

Glad to know I wasn't the only one to do something so foolish. In fact, have a look at some urban dictionary terms :1orglaugh

Cayenne Fire Ring:
A condition of the anus encountered after the consumption of extremely spicey foods. Generally induced from cayenne, habanero and jalepeno peppered snacks and mixes. Condition does not occur until defecation afterwhich the anus will burn for minutes or up to a half hour or more depending on digestive system tolerance. Recommended treatments include ice cubes, medicated pads and rags with witch hazel, creams, ointments, and salves.

Daedalus Attack:
When you anally fist a woman holding a handful of cayenne pepper and open your fist, releasing the cayenne pepper into her anus.

Georgia Fire Ant:
When a female applies cayenne pepper to the male's penis and then he sticks his penis in her ass and she shits a big pile like a fire ant mound.

Rusty Smoothie:
A sexual maneuver involving the prior eating of cayenne pepper and laxative laden foods, in order to release the bowels into a suspecting sexual partner's face.

and my personal favorite...

Cajun Doorbell:
When a man, while having sexual intercourse with a woman from behind, licks his finger, dips it into cayenne pepper and then inserts it into the woman's anus. Often done by surprise.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh where did you find these?

I figured someone had to do porn with this 'fetish' right? So I googled and came across the urban dictionary page: http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...yenne%20pepper

man that sucks, but on the bright side your dinner sounds tasty!

Wash your face with milk...buttermilk if you have it on-hand. Capsaicin isn't water soluble so if you use water, you're just exacerbating the issue. The milk fats and protein help neutralize the capsaicin better than anything else. Another thing you can do is rub ghost pepper chilis on your asshole. It won't help, but the shear torture of ghost peppers in your shit shooter will quickly make you forget about the weak shit you have on your corneas. :2 cents:

For the future, buy some latex gloves from your local super market or drug store. Use them whenever you cut peppers...even if they're "mild" peppers. They may be mild on your stomach and tongue but when they touch another sensitive membrane, you're fucked. While in college a dumb frat-fuck decided to stick a dry habenero under his eyelid for a minute. He actually lost sight in that eye. Stupid assholes.

Did you get a blow job afterwards?

Scratch your nuts and you will forget about your eye hurting...

i do that all the time, gotta remember to wash your hands really really well. true about water not helping, i run water on the affected eye and it does nothing. only time helps.

Be careful next time, those things can be dangerous anywhere near the eyes. :2 cents:
