So I'm making a Thai pumpkin stir fry, and I'm seeding these jalapenos and I gotta scratch my eye. Having learned my lesson in the past, I washed my hands first. But the second I touched my eye, it was hell all over again, but this time way worse. I was yelling and grimacing like I'd been shot, crouching on the floor. Wow. Holy fucking SHIT! We had to call poison control cuz the burning was really really bad. So I spent the next 20 minutes dunking my head into bowls of cold water. Very intense. I felt an eery calmness after it was all done though. Anyways, for those who don't know and don't wanna learn the hard way, heed my advice. Wash your hands very well after touching hot peppers. Like get a brush and scrub the shit outta your hands, or better yet, use disposable gloves if you've got any. In case you were wondering though, when it was all said and done, the meal was delicious.
