If you're chopping hot peppers, always, always wash your hands before peeing. I certainly learned my lesson.
Can confirm. Wash forearms too. Peed, washed hands, then wiped eye with forearm.
0 stars. Would not recommend.
😭
Gloves probably better, washing sometimes is not enough
For the superhots, yes. Good point!
Sometimes it still burns even if you washed your hands. Source: I was eating momos a few days back and the sauce was extra spicy. And I rubbed my eyes after washing hands.
Mmm momos 🤤 It can still definitely linger even after washing if it's spicy enough.
I've never found this to be a problem. I've also never experienced poop burn after eating spicy things but instead got it from misc other food that upset my stomach.
You just didn't go spicy enough! 😬
There's no such thing as "spicy enough"
I hit my threshold when I was in my late 40s. Just can't do what my friend refers to as "stunt peppers" anymore.
I've eaten ghost peppers, hard candies made from extracts made from California reapers, and this crazy octopus sauce my sister once got at an Asian market where a single drop in a pot of rice bordered on painful for me... And one time I accidentally put in a splash
None of that bothers me on the way out - capsaicin just doesn't bother me at all once it hits me stomach. But other things do... Grapefruit for instance
