How To Stop CHILI PEPPER BURN on HANDS & EYES - Pepper Geek

In this video, I share how to stop chili pepper burn on your hands and skin. Cutting hot peppers without gloves can lead to 'jalapeno hands' or a hot pepper burn on your skin. Here are the main techniques that work best for stopping the hot pepper burn (for us).

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.

[@phillipp1399]

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!

[@Clemmers316]

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.

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!

[@leannejose3562]

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!

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.

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

[@blumue]

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!

[@simplegreen6596]

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.

[@erodoeht]

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.

[@artsfarmstudio6405]

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

[@cohibadad]

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.

[@susancompton5672]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Watching this while hands were burning, my wife took over. Massage hands and fingers with olive/vegetable oil for 5 to 10 mins. Massage oily hands with bicarbonate. Done.

Thank you! I tried the dish soap first, and it did help some. But I took your wife's suggestion and used 100% canola oil followed by baking soda. It helped even more! I still have some burning after my adventures with jalapeños, but at least it is better! Next time I will wear gloves!!!

@@galiagoze If at first you don't succeed. Listen to your wife. 😉
