Emergency!!!!! How the F**K do I stop my fingers from stinging after chopping up chillies?????!
Answers: I just made Thai Green Chicken curry for dinner. I had to chop some chillies up, but now after doing the dishes my fingers are burning. How do I stop them from burning?
Never put your fingers/hands in warm water, it opens the pours. You should have really scrubbed with soap and cold water several times before doing dishes. Always wear gloves when chopping. peppers can make you really sick.
To answer your question, reopen those pours with really warm water, then scrub them several times with soap & cool water.
Rub your eyes with them.
apply coconut oil
Try wearing rubber gloves it works for me.
u mustve had a cut from cutting or from something else. idk what to tell you. all i can think of is put some gloves on your fingers the next time.
milk take the burning of hot peppers away , dip fingers in milk or wash with it
soak in milk
put them in cold water to numb up u won't feel a thing lol peace
try lavender oil if u have it...or try running them under cool water 4 a few mins
rinse them in milk
chop them off! lol dont do that.
get a bowl of hot water. put some soap in it and mix it around so the water becomes soapy. then leave your hands in there for as long as it stays hot. keep rubbing them against each other
Sounds like you are sensitive to the capsicum in the pepper. Get a pair of chem resistant gloves, nitrile i think. will offer good protection.
Citrus juice (lemon or lime)...and I assume that you have now learned to use latex gloves, next time?....oh, and by the way don't scratch any body parts... and if the need to go to the bathroom arises.....oh well...nevermind...you will figure that one out ....hee hee
yip,rubber gloves your best one-my mum does it!!!!
good luck x x
you have to prevent it in the first place by wearing rubber gloves when you cut them,
I once had my husband cut up a jalapeno for me because the that problem and the next morning when he had to put contacts in it was burning his eye to touch it with his finger, I think he wasted like four pairs of contacts because he kept dropping them he was cursing me up and down it was horrible, he banned fresh jalapenos from our house ever since
Apply some oil on your fingers. Its gonna take a while for the burning to stop. Or try putting some ice on it.
Next time use a chopper. It will give you the same result, but your fingers wont burn. Use a small spoon when taking out the chopped chillies from the chopper.
Green chillies are very spicy and you have to be careful when handling them.
