Christ this hurt..

[ComradeBadger]

... so there I was, chopping raw red chilli (not small ones, I can't take that kinda spice) for my deliciously planned pasta+omlette din-dins combo, all was ready, chucked it all out on plates etc..

.. after some spicy-pasta-based munch my eyes started watering.. so I wiped them. Approximately 1 ms later I was siezed by agonised pain in my eyes.. I feel to the floor.. screaming.. this is actually the worst pain I've ever felt.. when I tried to open my eyes in that first hellish second...

... I crawled on my belly to the bathroom and located the sink by cunningly bumping into it.. then spent the next hour rinsing my eyes with water desperately until finally now I can open my eyes and see again.

Now, this is the oddest part.. I feel the oddest feeling... warm glow on my face.. quite pleasent feeling..

... but mother****er it hurt

[baron insig]

meh i used to grow cheyenne chilli peppers when i was about 10

i was picking them and chopping them and then i picked my nose

The pain was excrucitaing and i thought in theat first crucial second that breathing in would draw in cool air and it wouldnt burn, it stopped burning and then the sensation was even further up my nose my head was on fire for the rest of the day

Taught you a damn lesson.

It's pretty obvious you DO NOT rub your eyes after you have touched something spicy.

 

[zodiak]

Makes me wonder what you get when you chop up some onions. >_<

Hehe, sounds like a whole lota fun.


But did it taste good. Thats the important thing!

 

[Griz]

LOL......just be glad you didn't try to take a piss first!!! Now THAT hurts.......and not in a good way.

 

[Kommie]

Also DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, take a piss after dealing with peppers.

 

[Steve]

Reminds me of that time I ate some nice spicy crawfish and then I...well...nevermind.

No story starting like this can turn out to be good. Spiciest thing Ive ever had, was jalepeno peppers, God they burnt! If you want something that makes you feel good, but hurts like a bitch, try absinthe. :thumbs:

Now tell me that wasn't a good story...

Note to Badger: Now you know.

 

[Zeus]

Lol when Im at the pc late at night when Ive been on it all day that happens to me. First they get all watery then I close them then I go to open them but it stings so bad so I just go crawl over to the couch and bury my head for about 5 minutes then I'm fine again.

ha brilliant story...and we have all learnt a valuable lesson (or several if taking notes of the other posts)

I learned that lesson a long time ago.

Pepper juice + on hands + rubbing face = :flame:

Yep. Down here in the south, that's our version of touching the hot stove.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Terrible. Once, back in high school I ate a habañero pepper to show off, then didn't wash my hands afterward. Luckily the class I rubbed my eye in right after lunch was in a science lab, so running water was available in the classroom. I heard about one guy who touched his eye in a similar situation -- he reacted to it so severely his nose started bleeding.

Hope that the dinner was worth it

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Putting alcohol (no, not pure ) in your eye, and then rinsing with water is supposed to be quite good at getting rid of chilli.

I hate when that happens.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

The good news is that it's likely nothing will ever feel worse than that.
In any situation you can say to yourself, "this is pretty bad, but at least my eyes aren't on fire anymore."

Also, I just tested this: rubbing your eyes after eating New England clam chowder has no adverse effect.

The more you know!

 

[Kommie]

I think milk helps for getting rid of the burn.
One time I brought in Thai peppers (the TINY red ones) took of the green things mixed em in with runts(I took out the red runts too) and gave em to people all day.

me "want a runt?"
them "sure, *takes a red* I only like the red ones"
Me "its ok man I dont mind"
I got suspended for that, but DAMN it was awesome.

Happened to me at school when some random kid chucked a chilli in the air and the seeds landed all over my face and the right part of my neck... I bought a frozen ice-cream-like product and put it on my neck and all over my face... It took about 45-145 minutes to end it (I don't remember, it took a while) The Ice-cream-like product actually spreaded the stinging down to my chest somehow...

I just ignored it and it went away.

 

[Raziaar]

Onions don't burn. They just make your eyes water significantly and makes it hard to see because of that.

It also promotes your friends from teasing you if you have them over. Chopping onions = friends is bad news.

heh thats so weird, when i was in high school, i had brought a habanero to school and dared this guy to eat it, he ate the whole thing too, although he ran to the bathroom after. crazy coincedance though you being from california too.

 

[WySiWyG]

My Dad likes hot sauce, and is always moaning how shyt the stuff in the shops is, so I got him some of this.

Now you are only supposed to have the tinyest dot of that stuff to do like 5 dishes, but my aunt turned the bottle upside down on her finger then licked it. If that wasnt bad enough she then rubbed her eyes when they started watering!! Her face swelled up for a couple of days.

I don't go for real spicy stuff, but if you like it get some of that shyt.

 

[Raziaar]

Did you know if you ate some of that extract stuff they make plain and not diluted, its so potent it could kill you or seriously harm you?

 

[Asknoone]

Ouch. Not nice. I hate it when things get in my eyes and i can't see

 

[WySiWyG]

Did you know if you ate some of that extract stuff they make plain and not diluted, its so potent it could kill you or seriously harm you?

Yeah, it comes with loads of warnings all over it..

"we accept no responsibility for harm caused.. not for the weak hearted.. If you give this as a gift you know what your doing.. Not to be used for practical jokes.."

They make it pretty clear not to drink it.

 

[WySiWyG]

This is the hottest stuff they sell. Im sure there is hotter out there somewhere..

 

[Raziaar]

I'm not talking about the hot sauces themselves. I'm talking about the pure, most concentrated form of the stuff they put into those things.

EDIT: Nevermind. Ignore all that I said.

I getcha. You'd have to be a proper 'tard to eat that stuff though.

Milk does help if you eat one, a lot. I was at a friends house who has a chillie bush and he dared me to eat one, of course me never being one to turn down a dare picked one and ate it whole. It wasn't a pleasent experience let me tell you, my throat was seriously burning for the next half and hour and several glasses of water later(which doesn't help by the way) I decided to try a glass of milk, worked a treat.

Yeah, my bro still owes me $2 from a dare like that, at first (was 9) i ran into the kitchen and drank a glass of water before he told me you should drink milk not water :|.... He watched me drink it too.

Anyway why didn't you just pour some milk into your eyes?

 

[Ranga]

i scared the hell outta my cousins and brother a while ago by eating a whole jalapeno chilli..... if you don't break the skin, and just swallow, it doesn't get hot... then just fake the chewing bit after you swallow i love painless admiration :thumbs:

I'm wondering how much a paper cut in your eyeball would hurt.

Or your dickhead in a benchvice :O
