I was cooking at the Rose's house on my birthday. I cut hot peppers with my bare hands at about 6 pm. Afterward they were burning and I couldn't get to sleep until about 4 in the morning! They finally subsided late morning the next day. I tried everything to make the pain go away: 1. I rubbed some cream on my hands and then aloe and then topical steroids. 2. I put my hand in a glass full of Lactaid. 3. I put my hands in ice water for 10 minutes! and then directly into hot water, then back, but it didn't work like Google said it would. 4. I put my hands under running water. (the pain melted away, but it always came back). 5. I called my sister who works at a hospital (woke her up!) but she didn't know. 6. I rubbed a lemon on my hands. nope. 7. I put my hands in veggie oil (a nurse told me it would help), but it hurt more! 8. I called poison control. 9. I put hands in milk. 10. I put my hands in vingar. 11. I put warm water in a big bowl with some soap, put my hands in it and finally fell asleep holding my bowl and like four am. 12. My hands still burned when I woke up. I put on some Sarna cream. Relief. |
