Bless You for starting this comments stream. Here we are, all dying in various advanced stages of advanced chili pepper burn, desperately seeking salvation we find ourselves here to find? Sound advice? Yes, but most important of all? The company of our fellow sufferers and the humor of recognizing the common ways in which we have all found our way here. LOL. This comment stream is what is making it all bearable. Now I am too busy laughing together with my fellow sufferers to die from my Jalapeno Hands. Bless You. And I think we are going to make it 😊
I learned a lesson.... I’ll never ever NOT wear gloves before doing this ... I can’t even type on my phone it’s burning and it’s been almost 2 hours 😭😩😩😩
If it's on your hands and you are using your phone and/or ipad I'd highly suggest that you clean off your phone very well, if you touch it W/O cleaning you're just going to get it back all over your hands again.
I have tried everything in the internet. Oil, milk, butter, alcohol, vinegar, lemon, baking soda... You name it. But nothing cooled my hands down like the iced water. Soaked in for about 3 hours. Much better than anything else I tried
@@sheenaahmed7876 when I soaked my hands in the iced water I felt better, however, the moment I took them out they burnt. So, yeah I kept them for three hours till they didn't burn without the water any more.
As an Indian I approve of the fact that milk is the best remedy to this problem. I had many instances where I spilled red chilli chutney on my hands. Nothing helps better than full fat milk. The fattier the milk the better the result.
When using dish soap start with just the dish soap on your hands. Rub it in throughly. Then add a small splash of water and scrub thoroughly again, sudsing up a bit. Finally, rinse with cold water. Straight detergent is much better at emulsifying those oils and the physical scrubbing helps too. This is also the method if you’ve been working on autos or bicycles and have crazy filthy hands. Works like a charm for anything lipid based. Thanks for another great video!
What’s weird is that it didn’t hurt for me until a few hours later. It only started hurting after I showered. It doesn’t hurt as bad as some people On here are saying however.
Just rubbed my eyes after cutting Jalapeno. Grabbed plain yogurt and used the whey. At first grabbed yogurt and rubbed it over evey then washed it in cool water. Dipped paper towel in whey made a compress and thats soothing
If it gets under your fingernails you're really screwed. When this happened to me I literally smeared full fat cream cheese all over my fingertips and put ziploc bags over my hands so I could try to get a few hours of sleep that night. I had to periodically refresh the cream cheese a couple times when the pain woke me up, but it actually really helped!
This weekend I made salsa with the last of my tomatoes and peppers. I knew better, but didn’t have gloves so just went ahead and cut the hot peppers without. I paid for it all the next day and remembered from one of your previous videos that you had mentioned this one. Quite by accident, while I was watching this video (fingers burning), I was eating a banana. I pulled down the peel and noticed that the fingers that touched the inside of the peel, quit burning so I rubbed the inside on the peel on the rest of my burning hands. THEY QUIT BURNING!!! Have not hurt since. I am curious to see if this works for anyone else. It happened completely by accident but worked wonderfully.
You are a saint! It helped so much, luckily I had browning bananas in my kitchen and soaked my hand in cold water, soap, cold milk, and a cap full of rubbing alcohol! I will definitely remember a banana peel works wonders
Hi. I tried this n I think it worked for me too. My hands were burning from chillies for like 3 hours n after I did the banana peel thing it gradually subsided in like 20 min. I didn’t wash it away for a while. Just kept it.
🙏 first time I had GARLIC burn for peeling a big bag of garlic… I was already panicking when I found your video maybe same as chili burn…. Like MAGIC when I dipped my finger tips in a half glass of MILK- a miracle!!!! Thank u so much …
This just happened to me a few hours ago and worse I didn't have milk, I was frantic for relief, ice helped temporarily but once I removed them the pain was burning even more. Only thing with milk I was able to find was from what was left of my nephew's johnson's baby wash and routinely soaked my hand. Thank God it worked, it's still stinging a bit but is now tremendously tolerable. Will do the warm water method as what others have mentioned, it might gone into my pores. Thanks for the vid and all the other pointers in the comments!
Hi Guys, had a terrible experience of 6 hours burning my hands. I never had any problem dealing with peppers, but this time I was collecting seeds for my own seed-bank, and It was the worst pain experience I ever had. After all the things that I also tested, many things, but after 10 times of dish soap and olive oil, the frozen MILK for 1 hour was the best thing to cause some releive. MILK YOUR HANDS
Found you when Googling for the solution to this problem. Was making dahl w/ habaneros. The batch was hotter than usual. Had gloves, didn't feel that I needed them. First, tried the dish soap. Got rid of some of the pain. No milk in the fridge, so I tried half and half. Problem solved (99 % anyway). Thank you.
Thanks for the good advice! I cut 28 Jalapeno's last night making cowboy candy and didnt realize I had paper cuts on my fingers....it was a living hell
Google said I have "symptom of peripheral neuropathy" when all I did was touch chillies 🤣 made me worried for a sec until I realised I cut chillies a while ago
an alternate option for skin (not eyes) is a soap called Fels Naptha. Its actually used in the laundry industry and you can buy it in the laundry isle of most big box stores. It suspends the oils into solution (much like dish soap) but its much much more effective and fast. I use it when i KNOW i've been into poison ivy/oak and it works like a charm.
My hands have been on fire 🔥 since yesterday - no amount of washing them or Dunkin' them in milk helped- BUT I just cut some fresh Aloe Vera and literally the second I touched the gel inside, the burning stopped!! Wishing I'd tried this 18 hours ago 😅
Thank you for YOUR post I tried the milk for about 30 mins then the aloe Vera plant worked instantly. I put it on a few times and the pain is gone now I'll be able to sleep! That was crazy!
Good advice, and wearing gloves works as long as you are really careful even then. I was a cook in a pub years ago. One of the customers loved hot peppers, and grew his own to bring in for me to use. He brought in a bag of red savina habaneros, and wanted wing sauce made with them. Our gloves went just to the top of my wrists. I thought I was careful enough, but while chopping the peppers, some oil must have sprayed past the gloves. I felt a stray hair on the side of my face, and used the inside of my arm to push it away. I was on fire. A raised welt formed on my face and arm, and I instinctively grabbed the dish soap (it was the only thing nearby) and it worked to where it 'only' felt like a mild sunburn. Took a while for the welts to go down. Scary, as it was on my cheekbone, under my right eye, After that, I made a point to wash my hands (gloved or not) every minute or so when handling them and NEVER touch my face. Fun fact: Vince (pepper lover guy) forgot to wash his hands one time after gardening and came inside to go to the bathroom. I cannot imagine lol
I was craving for some 'Dynamites' so I prepped the long green chillis 3 HRS ago with no gloves. So now my hands are burning like hell. The milk & dish soap gave relief but I don't wanna waste any more milk and I can't stand by the sink for hours. Thankfully there are ice packs on the fridge. Way way better relief! Just gonna ride this out with the ice and wear gloves tomorrow. I've never worn gloves before but this time the burn is really bad!
Let me tell you guys, yesterday I handle 20 lbs of jalapenos chopping with bare hands because I been cutting for years without any problems, usually I wash my hand with soap and water afterward. But this time OMG I didn't feel the burn til 1 hr later slowly burning even more with the heat from weather, it 109 in California. I have try everything I have seen in youtube, dishwasher soap, oilvers oil, milk, flour, vinegar, salt, biofreeze, alcohol, toothpaste, mouthwash, even soaking the hands in hot water nothing helping. The burn last 12-16 hrs on both hands. What I use to stop the burning is ICE Pack lots and lots of ice pack switch them when it melting or anything frozen, meat, frozen veg etc. The oil from the pepper with dissolve in times and takes longer because I handle too many jalapenos. DO NOT take a shower it will spread the oil to other parts of your body if you rubbing it. Make sure you have a ice pack ready for the night when going to bed, next morning is gone not 100% but 90% I have slept thur it.
Citrus is always my go-to. Just rub the affected area with a sliced lemon, lime, or orange, covering with the juices thoroughly, and then rinsing off with cold water
Since covid I have tons of gloves. I don’t forget anymore. But sometimes I think a pepper is mild or sweet and it grows hot and surprises me. So this is a great video
Watched this video for my husband, who got an unknown red pepper 🌶 (was a gift with some other veggies from in-laws garden) in his eyes and on his hands. He was in the shower when he heard on the speak “WHATEVER YOU DO , DONT GET IN THE SHOWER” ... the good news is it’s gone! After 1 hour of pain.. his eye was bloodshot, the skin around his eye was inflamed and red, I could see the small veins going to his eye socket bulge out a bit... I heard my husband screech in pain for the first time in our 5 year relationship.
While you waiting to heal you can get a bag of ice and hold off and on it until your hands heals up. stay away from hot water for awhile until it heals, and don't forget to wipe down what you touch as well.
Sour cream worked pretty well after I washed with the cold water and dish soap. I even put on Preparation H cream at the end of my soap & sour cream treatment to really silence the pain on my burning hands and that got rid of the rest of the burn. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Pepper Geek..Never knew capsicum and green chillies are so powerful! I dipped my hands in the ice tray but after a while it burns again..but a lot better
It's been 12hours now, my hand is still burning. Cleaned my hand thoroughly several times with soap but it didn't work. Too bad I don't have milk and I don't want to go to the grocery just for that. I'll just wait it out 😆
Thanks man. Today I have tried dish soap, vinegar, Vicks, vaseline, butter, menthol, alcohol, ice pack, cold water, burn gel, etc but all didn’t work. So many hours in pain, and I tried his method, milk, which WORKS. I only have room temperature UHT Milk but it has worked so well till now. Amazingly just 5 mins and i had have instant relief NOW.
Tobasco peppers are literally the worst for this. I was collecting fresh seed from a few pods and they are SO juicy. Not to mention, the sauce may not be that hot, but Tabasco peppers are no joke. Reapers, ghosts, and Nagas are hot, but the juice in Tabasco brings the heat to a whole new level on skin or in the mouth.
thank you for the video. i had not idea what was happening because it was the first time that the chillis really got to me. milk really helped! feel like an idiot when i kept trying to wash my hands with dish soap but kept wiping them on the same towel which had the original chilli stains
After 6 hours with my hands on fire thank God I’ve found this video 🥺🤯 the toothbrush made the burn stop immediately! Probably the chilli oil was on my nails all the time. Thanks sooooo much!
Years ago my wife had burning hands and the first aid hotline didn't help ,My Aunt told her to us motor oil and it did work great. Thank you the milk looks cleaner but motor oil did work great she was crying. Thank you for the teaching
This just happened to me today and I did not feel the consequences until I soaked in a steaming hot bath! I was cutting Serrano peppers about 60 of them with no gloves on.
Milk helps a little for less than severe burning but if you want IMMEDIATE relief of SEVERE burning just use vinegar. White vinegar. INSTANT relief. Wish more people knew this.
bro i swear i was hungry my mom was gonna make a curry so i wanted to speed up the process and helped her in cutting like nicely dicing garlic and chillies.. man after that.. the pain seriously.. worst pain you can ever experience nothing helped nothing i used.. coconut oil, vinegar, tamarind, iced it, washed my hands literally nothing helped searched everything and then came across this video.. man im telling you the dish soap hack really helped seriously.. like the pain is now bearable it's not fully gone but it's bearable i wished i had milk but dish soap also works damn well like.. thank you seriously and reading all these comments and laughing out the pain is also amazing!
I learned about the power of milk fat here in Turkey, where we get a stew called beyran that is seasoned very much like Mexican menudo, but hotter. It's served with a bowl of whipped, foamy full fat yoghurt. When you get too much mouth burn, a spoonful of that yoghurt foam brings instantaneous relief. Yoghurt here is full fat, and I'm pretty sure the fat content matters, since yoghurt in the US hasn't seemed to be as effective for chile burn.
Toothpaste with a little water will guaranteed help. Apply a thick coat of the toothpaste all over the burning area with a few drops of water. The burning sensation should pass after a few minutes
Unlike water, capsaicin is soluable in oil and alcohol. So you can wash hands with either oil and then soap, or strong alcohol. You might end up spreading it a bit too, but it gets a lot better as well.
Soooooo the reason the dairy milk works so well (especially whole milk) is because of the fat in the milk. The fat molecules neutralize the capsaicin. So with that same principle, I’ve found that rubbing OLIVE OIL wherever I’m burning works the best. It’s pure fat, so it neutralizes the capsaicin quickly. I had my eyelids burning like crazy from rubbing my eyes after cutting scorpion peppers (🤦🏽♂️dunce-cap move), and the olive oil made the burn go away in a matter of minutes! Works great for when your tasting the peppers too. Bit into a Carolina Reaper just to see how spicy it was. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I put the fire out by just swallowing a tablespoon of olive oil. It was still warm afterwards, but I no longer felt like I was being eaten from the inside out. Plus EVOO is good for your heart anyway; 😊win-win.
Last yr, my boss was cutting hot peppers to make his hot sauce & he put the bowl he was using in sink then he left. I unknowingly picked bowl up & sprayed it with water & the capsaicin because airborne & went straight in my lungs. I literally couldn't breath! It took several minutes of coughing & guzzling my drink to get my breath back.
Thank you so much for this, I tried cleaning my hands with water but still it's burning. And I decided to search in youtube to find a solution and Yes I got this! Really helps a lot! Thank you ❤️lesson learned to wear gloves next time haha
Had my dinner .there was fish today .. And burned my fingers as I m indian and used to eat fish with my hands..as usual it was so freakin' spicy ..my mom makes the spicest gravy ever..and so searched a lot on google and finally found your video ..and used milk ..believe me guys it seriously works ..thanks a lot Mr. Pepper geek
You can you olive oil and it will work better then all of that. I know this because me and my friend dared eachother to split this chillies and run them on our lips. First time playing with hot peppers besides in our food with forks. Well we washing our hands afterwards and not well and then proceeded to go and take a leak.... lets just say that when i say olive oil works you gotta try it. Saved my man hood at a very young age.
Soap isn't enough. You might not have milk, or want to waste it for this purpose. You can also use oil (vegetable, canola, olive) to dilute the capsaicin, or alcohol to remove as much of it as possible. Whatever is stuck in your pores might require you to use warm water to open the pores so that one of the other solutions (soap, milk, oil, alcohol) can access the trapped capsaicin, which will hurt. I had a pretty bad case of chili hands a few weeks ago after making salsa verde with a load of jalapeños and serranos. Both hands were completely coated, and several bouts of dish soap did nothing. Cool water 'felt' better while in contact with it, but didn't do anything to solve the problem. Definitely the worst case of chili hands i've ever had. After a tense and painful 10-15 minutes of internet searching, i found a site that suggested soap (wasn't working), milk (didn't have any), oil, and alcohol. After using each of them in succession, the problem was finally solved. The oil made it bearable and the alcohol removed everything that remained. Definitely use gloves if you're going to be handling/cutting fresh peppers. It's worth it.
Thanks bro, being an Indian our food revolves around all kind of spices. My hands were literally on fire, i tried everything and thanks to u, i finally got the relief.
THANK. YOU!!!!!! I got some chili and my hands yesterday and it was burning periodically. Tried the methods from websites (except weak bleach). You, however, are the only one who has mentioned and argued that warm water should be used , even if it hurts. I used it to open the pores (as the capsaicin had gone into the skin), and then used hand desinfectant. Two rounds. Stopped the burning.
I got some orange habanero in my eye after wiping my sweat from my brow. I didn’t have milk at the time. I washed my hand throughly (15-20 seconds) twice with Safeguard bar soap. I don’t know about the other bar soaps out there, but Safeguard does a great job at cleaning. I then washed my face especially around the eye twice again (15-20 seconds) vigorously with Safeguard bar soap. It worked for me.
I got a cut on my finger while cutting peppers and i washed my hand with cold water but still my whole hand is buring and that finger which has a cut on it is ON FUCKING FIREEEEEEEEE i'm crying lol
My hands were on fire after cutting some chiles for dinner and I thought I was going to spent a painful sleepless night. So I did what Mr. Pepper Geek recommended, plus all of the recommendations found in the comments. Did I the egg white bath, the banana peel remedy, the oil massage with the Dawn liquid dish soap scrub with a toothbrush and rubbing in baking soda, alcohol, etc., plus one of my own. I took a frozen aloe vera leaf and rubbed it against my burn. Basically, I threw in all that plus the kitchen sink. Voila! My burns were pain-free by bed time.
When I first started getting into spicy i bought some mild hot wings from Domino's. At that time the only sauce to put them to coat them was a Jalapeno pepper sauce, I was totally happy,with that because I had,a very low tolerance to spicy food. After I ate I just wiped my hand with a dry towel and went in the bathroom to pee. "I was totally new to spicy foods these wings were the hottest thing I had eaten so i simply didn't know that the sauce will still be on your hands". While I was peeing I scratched an itch in the corner of my eye. It didn't take long for me to realize that peeing and scratching the corner of your eye after eating spicy food was a HORRIBLE IDEA.!! The burn from both places hit me at exactly the same time. Lol
Very weird, reddit said mineral oil, i used olive oil, down there, for a good 5 minutes, and rinse with lots of mild or cold Water... The hand that holdd the Peppers is the worst part. Awful
i've had chili burn since last night and i've washed my hands with dish washing soap/detergent, i've taken bath already... in total, i've washed my hands for at least 5 times already since last night and it still hurts up til now... i'm going to try soaking my hands in milk, hope it's going to work
On my exam day. On dinner I've made spaghetti with hot sauce. I didn't use gloves i didn't feel anything wrong til i took a shower. The hell is real now. I tried everything except milk. Thanks man for saving me the situation is a lot better now. I hope no one have similar experience
it work!💛💛 thank you very much. I was cooking chili oil earlier then this happened my hand started going crazy its super hot and painful.. I tried washing it down with just soap and didnt work at all luckily thanks for your tips it work
Last night I made some homemade salsa and got some hot peppers that I have never used before. I’ve never had a problem with getting burns or anything like that from peppers but a few minutes later my hand started burning to the point where I was almost in tears. I soaked my hands in milk until my fingers got wrinkled and I used ice packs, my boyfriend even went and got rubbing alcohol from the store and had me soak my hands in that. Nothing is helping. I woke up and it’s so much worse!😫
TL;DW:
- Wash with dish soap and cool water (NOT in eyes, only on skin).
- Dunk in milk for relief.
- Don't shower, it will get worse and potentially spread to...other places.
- Wear gloves next time.
THANK YOU!

I was craving for some 'Dynamites' so I prepped the long green chillis 3 HRS ago with no gloves. So now my hands are burning like hell. The milk & dish soap gave relief but I don't wanna waste any more milk and I can't stand by the sink for hours. Thankfully there are ice packs on the fridge. Way way better relief! Just gonna ride this out with the ice and wear gloves tomorrow. I've never worn gloves before but this time the burn is really bad!
I'm suffering. I was legit going to study for my test in two days after I cooked and now I can't even focus😭😭
I'm ready to chop my hand off.
Sme 😢😢😢
Let me tell you guys, yesterday I handle 20 lbs of jalapenos chopping with bare hands because I been cutting for years without any problems, usually I wash my hand with soap and water afterward. But this time OMG I didn't feel the burn til 1 hr later slowly burning even more with the heat from weather, it 109 in California. I have try everything I have seen in youtube, dishwasher soap, oilvers oil, milk, flour, vinegar, salt, biofreeze, alcohol, toothpaste, mouthwash, even soaking the hands in hot water nothing helping. The burn last 12-16 hrs on both hands. What I use to stop the burning is ICE Pack lots and lots of ice pack switch them when it melting or anything frozen, meat, frozen veg etc. The oil from the pepper with dissolve in times and takes longer because I handle too many jalapenos. DO NOT take a shower it will spread the oil to other parts of your body if you rubbing it. Make sure you have a ice pack ready for the night when going to bed, next morning is gone not 100% but 90% I have slept thur it.
You're so right bro my hands burning with that chillies,,nothing helped me except for that ice packs
@@Eulogy1613 I used a soap bar from my shower and old water and it went away in under 46 seconds :p
Thankyou 😭😭😭😭💚💚💚
You sound like a warrior fighting the evil
Hahaahahahahha frozen meat frozen vegetables
The soaking of the milk in paper towel for the eye absolute genius took the burn right out of my eye in seconds highly approved
Really effective thank you mam
Mene pehle bhot kuch krke dekha h kabhi aaram nhi milta pr aapke is video se help hui
Citrus is always my go-to. Just rub the affected area with a sliced lemon, lime, or orange, covering with the juices thoroughly, and then rinsing off with cold water
Since covid I have tons of gloves. I don’t forget anymore. But sometimes I think a pepper is mild or sweet and it grows hot and surprises me. So this is a great video
Watched this video for my husband, who got an unknown red pepper 🌶 (was a gift with some other veggies from in-laws garden) in his eyes and on his hands.
He was in the shower when he heard on the speak “WHATEVER YOU DO , DONT GET IN THE SHOWER” ...
the good news is it’s gone! After 1 hour of pain.. his eye was bloodshot, the skin around his eye was inflamed and red, I could see the small veins going to his eye socket bulge out a bit...
I heard my husband screech in pain for the first time in our 5 year relationship.
This saved me thank you. My hands were on fire for so long and this was the comfort I needed tysm
While you waiting to heal you can get a bag of ice and hold off and on it until your hands heals up. stay away from hot water for awhile until it heals, and don't forget to wipe down what you touch as well.
ty man after cutting some red poblanos my hand's been burning for an hour but the dish soap did the trick
nvm it's back
Just found this vid after cutting up some peppers. Did what you recommend and it helped ALOT cant thank you enough good sir. Thanks
Found this vid while i had pepper burns on my neck somehow. helped a ton!!
Sour cream worked pretty well after I washed with the cold water and dish soap. I even put on Preparation H cream at the end of my soap & sour cream treatment to really silence the pain on my burning hands and that got rid of the rest of the burn. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Pepper Geek..Never knew capsicum and green chillies are so powerful! I dipped my hands in the ice tray but after a while it burns again..but a lot better
It's been 12hours now, my hand is still burning. Cleaned my hand thoroughly several times with soap but it didn't work. Too bad I don't have milk and I don't want to go to the grocery just for that. I'll just wait it out 😆
I am going to try that now because my hands are burning bad here with pepper thanks for making this video for us
I hope it helped!
I seriously can’t thank you enough. 😭
😂
Thanks man. Today I have tried dish soap, vinegar, Vicks, vaseline, butter, menthol, alcohol, ice pack, cold water, burn gel, etc but all didn’t work. So many hours in pain, and I tried his method, milk, which WORKS. I only have room temperature UHT Milk but it has worked so well till now. Amazingly just 5 mins and i had have instant relief NOW.
Tobasco peppers are literally the worst for this. I was collecting fresh seed from a few pods and they are SO juicy. Not to mention, the sauce may not be that hot, but Tabasco peppers are no joke. Reapers, ghosts, and Nagas are hot, but the juice in Tabasco brings the heat to a whole new level on skin or in the mouth.
thank you for the video. i had not idea what was happening because it was the first time that the chillis really got to me. milk really helped! feel like an idiot when i kept trying to wash my hands with dish soap but kept wiping them on the same towel which had the original chilli stains
After 6 hours with my hands on fire thank God I’ve found this video 🥺🤯 the toothbrush made the burn stop immediately! Probably the chilli oil was on my nails all the time. Thanks sooooo much!
:)
:(
Ooh no I guess I need a doctor I'm feeling literally like my hands are burning 🔥🔥 6 hours like that I'll be dead for sure
Thanks I was watching this while burning 🔥 alive from my eyes it helps
I've learned that rubbing your hands with alcohol also helps things like hand sanitizer wil work really well
U saved my live🤧
Just try it, but it seems don't work for Carolina reaper 😖
Years ago my wife had burning hands and the first aid hotline didn't help ,My Aunt told her to us motor oil and it did work great.
Thank you the milk looks cleaner but motor oil did work great she was crying.
Thank you for the teaching
Yikes that sounds risky..but glad to have helped
This just happened to me today and I did not feel the consequences until I soaked in a steaming hot bath! I was cutting Serrano peppers about 60 of them with no gloves on.
It's been 6 hrs since I cut Serrano pepper..burning is not subsiding..dabbed ghee on both hands
Mine went away at first. I fell asleep with hands on fire. Took a shower the following day and the burning is back. Thanks for the info!
Milk helps a little for less than severe burning but if you want IMMEDIATE relief of SEVERE burning just use vinegar. White vinegar. INSTANT relief. Wish more people knew this.
bro i swear i was hungry my mom was gonna make a curry so i wanted to speed up the process and helped her in cutting like nicely dicing garlic and chillies.. man after that.. the pain seriously.. worst pain you can ever experience nothing helped nothing i used.. coconut oil, vinegar, tamarind, iced it, washed my hands literally nothing helped searched everything and then came across this video.. man im telling you the dish soap hack really helped seriously.. like the pain is now bearable it's not fully gone but it's bearable i wished i had milk but dish soap also works damn well like.. thank you seriously and reading all these comments and laughing out the pain is also amazing!
I learned about the power of milk fat here in Turkey, where we get a stew called beyran that is seasoned very much like Mexican menudo, but hotter. It's served with a bowl of whipped, foamy full fat yoghurt. When you get too much mouth burn, a spoonful of that yoghurt foam brings instantaneous relief. Yoghurt here is full fat, and I'm pretty sure the fat content matters, since yoghurt in the US hasn't seemed to be as effective for chile burn.
Bende bugün salsa yapıyım dedim şu an ölüyo ellerim süt işe yaramadı
no wonder my hands were on fire after a shower.. Thanks for the vid you're a lifesaver I used the dish soap :)
Toothpaste with a little water will guaranteed help. Apply a thick coat of the toothpaste all over the burning area with a few drops of water. The burning sensation should pass after a few minutes
Unlike water, capsaicin is soluable in oil and alcohol. So you can wash hands with either oil and then soap, or strong alcohol. You might end up spreading it a bit too, but it gets a lot better as well.
No way.. the dish soap actually helped… Thanks pal :D
I put my hands in a big bowl of blended chilli and here I am now😁👍
Thank you cuz that trick really did work my eyes were on fire
Soooooo the reason the dairy milk works so well (especially whole milk) is because of the fat in the milk. The fat molecules neutralize the capsaicin. So with that same principle, I’ve found that rubbing OLIVE OIL wherever I’m burning works the best. It’s pure fat, so it neutralizes the capsaicin quickly. I had my eyelids burning like crazy from rubbing my eyes after cutting scorpion peppers (🤦🏽♂️dunce-cap move), and the olive oil made the burn go away in a matter of minutes! Works great for when your tasting the peppers too. Bit into a Carolina Reaper just to see how spicy it was. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I put the fire out by just swallowing a tablespoon of olive oil. It was still warm afterwards, but I no longer felt like I was being eaten from the inside out. Plus EVOO is good for your heart anyway; 😊win-win.
Last yr, my boss was cutting hot peppers to make his hot sauce & he put the bowl he was using in sink then he left. I unknowingly picked bowl up & sprayed it with water & the capsaicin because airborne & went straight in my lungs. I literally couldn't breath! It took several minutes of coughing & guzzling my drink to get my breath back.
He was telling we do the giveaway of papper sauce I was like I am on fire don't do this
I into selling peper sauce and how to preseved them... and I found you and got hooked lol
Haha!! I’ve never screamed “GET TO THE POINT” so loudly at any video before😂😂 eyes were burning.. Milk helped! Thank you so much
Nah deadass even the neighbors called the cops on me cause I was screaming 💀
Thanks you for doing this it takes a lot to make your hands burn
I washed with dish soap several times. Still burning. I used toothpaste and it seemed better. Maybe because the hands feel cool from the mint.
The milk really helped!
Guys I’m dying my hands are burning 🔥

Glad we could help :)
Made mirchi bajji with Serrano peppers this evening and I'm paying for it all now😢😢😢😢
You can you olive oil and it will work better then all of that. I know this because me and my friend dared eachother to split this chillies and run them on our lips. First time playing with hot peppers besides in our food with forks. Well we washing our hands afterwards and not well and then proceeded to go and take a leak.... lets just say that when i say olive oil works you gotta try it. Saved my man hood at a very young age.
Now watching while having my hands burning as hell for almost an hour😅😅😅
Thanks dude.
My hand is burning like 🔥
It actually worked on eyes, thanks 🙏
Soap isn't enough. You might not have milk, or want to waste it for this purpose. You can also use oil (vegetable, canola, olive) to dilute the capsaicin, or alcohol to remove as much of it as possible. Whatever is stuck in your pores might require you to use warm water to open the pores so that one of the other solutions (soap, milk, oil, alcohol) can access the trapped capsaicin, which will hurt. I had a pretty bad case of chili hands a few weeks ago after making salsa verde with a load of jalapeños and serranos. Both hands were completely coated, and several bouts of dish soap did nothing. Cool water 'felt' better while in contact with it, but didn't do anything to solve the problem. Definitely the worst case of chili hands i've ever had. After a tense and painful 10-15 minutes of internet searching, i found a site that suggested soap (wasn't working), milk (didn't have any), oil, and alcohol. After using each of them in succession, the problem was finally solved. The oil made it bearable and the alcohol removed everything that remained. Definitely use gloves if you're going to be handling/cutting fresh peppers. It's worth it.
Thanks bro, being an Indian our food revolves around all kind of spices. My hands were literally on fire, i tried everything and thanks to u, i finally got the relief.
THANK. YOU!!!!!! I got some chili and my hands yesterday and it was burning periodically. Tried the methods from websites (except weak bleach). You, however, are the only one who has mentioned and argued that warm water should be used , even if it hurts. I used it to open the pores (as the capsaicin had gone into the skin), and then used hand desinfectant. Two rounds. Stopped the burning.
I got some orange habanero in my eye after wiping my sweat from my brow. I didn’t have milk at the time. I washed my hand throughly (15-20 seconds) twice with Safeguard bar soap. I don’t know about the other bar soaps out there, but Safeguard does a great job at cleaning. I then washed my face especially around the eye twice again (15-20 seconds) vigorously with Safeguard bar soap. It worked for me.
I got a cut on my finger while cutting peppers and i washed my hand with cold water but still my whole hand is buring and that finger which has a cut on it is ON FUCKING FIREEEEEEEEE i'm crying lol
Thank you😭 I've been suffering from hours like 5 hours!
My hands were burning so badly. Now im holding an ice pack while watching this.
same here some with frozen beans :""))
same :((
My hands were on fire after cutting some chiles for dinner and I thought I was going to spent a painful sleepless night. So I did what Mr. Pepper Geek recommended, plus all of the recommendations found in the comments. Did I the egg white bath, the banana peel remedy, the oil massage with the Dawn liquid dish soap scrub with a toothbrush and rubbing in baking soda, alcohol, etc., plus one of my own. I took a frozen aloe vera leaf and rubbed it against my burn. Basically, I threw in all that plus the kitchen sink. Voila! My burns were pain-free by bed time.
When I first started getting into spicy i bought some mild hot wings from Domino's. At that time the only sauce to put them to coat them was a Jalapeno pepper sauce, I was totally happy,with that because I had,a very low tolerance to spicy food. After I ate I just wiped my hand with a dry towel and went in the bathroom to pee. "I was totally new to spicy foods these wings were the hottest thing I had eaten so i simply didn't know that the sauce will still be on your hands". While I was peeing I scratched an itch in the corner of my eye. It didn't take long for me to realize that peeing and scratching the corner of your eye after eating spicy food was a HORRIBLE IDEA.!! The burn from both places hit me at exactly the same time. Lol
Very weird, reddit said mineral oil, i used olive oil, down there, for a good 5 minutes, and rinse with lots of mild or cold Water... The hand that holdd the Peppers is the worst part. Awful
i've had chili burn since last night and i've washed my hands with dish washing soap/detergent, i've taken bath already... in total, i've washed my hands for at least 5 times already since last night and it still hurts up til now... i'm going to try soaking my hands in milk, hope it's going to work
Yikes, I hope it helps. Tough when it gets into your skin pores. Important to wash with cold water asap after touching the peppers!
@@PepperGeek the milk saved me!!!! wooohh!!! thank you so much!!! yes, i've learned my lesson to wear gloves next time :D
On my exam day. On dinner I've made spaghetti with hot sauce.
I didn't use gloves i didn't feel anything wrong til i took a shower.
The hell is real now. I tried everything except milk.
Thanks man for saving me the situation is a lot better now.
I hope no one have similar experience
Oh my god thankyou I got rid of it finally
Glad to hear! :D
it work!💛💛 thank you very much.
I was cooking chili oil earlier then this happened my hand started going crazy its super hot and painful..
I tried washing it down with just soap and didnt work at all luckily thanks for your tips it work
Last night I made some homemade salsa and got some hot peppers that I have never used before. I’ve never had a problem with getting burns or anything like that from peppers but a few minutes later my hand started burning to the point where I was almost in tears. I soaked my hands in milk until my fingers got wrinkled and I used ice packs, my boyfriend even went and got rubbing alcohol from the store and had me soak my hands in that. Nothing is helping. I woke up and it’s so much worse!😫
What happened?? This is literally me right now
@@danielag7092 I had to wait it out and it stayed like that for two days😭 I won’t touch a pepper without gloves on
Alcohol does not help
@@tinysworld1721 yeah I realized
