OT - Pepper burn in eye!

Misippi Egger

Don't let anyone tell you that milk will not stop the burn from peppers! :huh:

About 30 minutes ago I was finishing up making some Bloody Mary mix to take to the Hoss Fest later this week. The last step involved adding a pinch or two of dried, smoked hot peppers to the mix.

A few minutes ago I rubbed my eye and :ohmy: FIRE !!!

Washing with water didn't help, so I poured a little whole milk into a bowl and rubbed it along the edges of my eye several times, then rinsed with water. Minutes later, it is only a distant, but still VIVID memory ! :S :( :blink:

BTW, (especially for DOW) - there were NO adult beverages involved!

Avocados

Burn? Just wait 'till you go and pee... :laugh:

Misippi Egger

AYE !

I have washed my hands several times after the above incident.

Fool me once.....

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

But, Misippi Egger, that was a very clever idea to disguise the Moonshine in Lake Conroe Egger's Bloody Mary mix :evil:

Have a very fun -- and SAFE -- time with Hoss and the other boyz

The milk idea is interesting.

:woohoo: 'rubbed your eye'... on another note, be glad you didn't go to the bathroom...

capsaisin is an oil and therefore not soluble in aquoeous solutions.. soap, oil based or organic solvents are needed.
which is why hot pepper containing dishes are often served with sour cream and avacodo both high in oil content. mayonaise, 1/2 & 1/2, butter will to the job ,, skim milk is not very helpful..
and don't ever put an altoid up your nose the mint oil burns the nasal membranes hot and cold water make it worse .. don't ask how i know this

Belated CAREFUL DUDE! I hope it were'nt your aiming eye!

Little Steven

Aiming after a quart of MS shine is sort of a contradiction in terms no? Hope nobody gets that in the eye, milk ain't gonna fix it :laugh:

Steve

Hoss

:laugh: You got a GOOD point! :laugh:

Misippi Egger

It WAS my aiming eye, but considering Steve's comment above, I'm not sure I will be able to blame any poor aims on the pepper.

We gotta get rid of this here RAIN forecast !

I have a big pot of Egret Chili simmering on the Egg as I type.

Hoss
