On jalapenos from our garden. I know better. I FREAKING KNOW better than to cut them sans gloves. I was in a stupid hurry to finish making the salsa to get dinner on the table, and just cut them bare-handed.
Yowch! I've never actually burned my skin from the jalapenos, but I have made the mistake of not washing my hands completely before touching my eye or scratching my nose... ohh the burn!
Re: I burned my left hand tonight. :(
Would soaking them in something alkaline (like milk) and/or fatty (olice oil) help?
