After slicing up red jalapeno peppers, be extremely careful that you do not touch other body parts afterward.

Does anyone else have any sage words of advice?

Next time, it's worth it to buy latex gloves when slicing peppers.

I onced sliced habeneros then (even after washing hands) rubbed my eye. I couldn't see out of that eye for nearly 24 hours.

OUCH!

I hear the same applies for IcyHot. :)

Careful, now!

Don't wash your clothes in the shower while you're still wearing them, then ride your bike trying to air dry.

LMAO! Especially when its cold outside! Summertime here in Utah, its so dry that I would actually consider doing that. It evaporates in a millisecond.

If your taking a tight fast turn on your bike, and at the last
minute you think you're not going to make it---don't hit the
brakes!(voice of experience)

Hitting the brakes automatically straightens the bike bike back
up and forces you into a wider turning radius. Presto! Into the
curb (grass/ditch/cliff); not a good outcome. Far better to lean
the bike over as far as you can and try to take the turn. Even if
you end up laying the bike down flat, it's better than doing an
endo over the curb.

It's called 'pepper eye' in my household. I once roasted and peeled a whole bushel of hot New Mexican peppers in one sitting and my hands and arms were burning up past my wrists for a couple days afterwards. But latex gloves are still for wimps! :D

Some past experiences......

Don't get down on all fours and pretend to be eating food with the strange dog you gave table scraps to.
--Did this at age 3 or 4 and still have a minute scar on my cheek where dog tooth punctured it

Never, ever ask a woman whom you are not already POSITIVE that she is pregnant when the baby is due.
--I didn't do this, but "almost" did this to my (then) soon to be sister-n-law. I think BDG can speak to this one as well.

Never make a big money deal (car, house, etc...) when salesperson is rushing you into the deal for ANY reason.
--I did this buying a mobile home when I was 20 years old. I really got screwed on price and terms.

After you take the paper skin off your onion, wash it in cool water and your eyes won't tear up. Helps with peppers freshly washed too.

Just because Icyhot gets warm when you put it on your arm, doesnt meen it will stop at warm when you put it somewhere else.

At that point, a bathtub cant fill quick enough with cold water.

Always check you bike after you've left it unattended in public. Twice my front quick release has come loose when riding on the street, both times after I had left it locked by the sidewalk for a while.

Also if you have to tighten the QR, get off the bike!!!

One of my friends borrowed my bike and thought that the QR was loose (I haven't been leaving it unattended in public). So he tried to tighten the lever while riding... with his FOOT! Well... the lever was tight and he shoved his foot into the spokes, got it yanked up and jammed into the back of the fork and endo'd. Wish I had a video of that! Wouldn't have charged him for the repairs in trade!

A young Spanish pro tried to adjust the sensor of his computer in much the same way... but with his hand and some fingers chopped off. I wish I could remember the name.

Never throw dirt clods at a Jersey bull. [Turns out they can jump a fence like an eighteen hundred-pound gazelle.]

Never let your uncle's spider monkey out of its pen while you also have his three coon hounds out of the kennel. [Re-canning this can-of-worms finally involved the best efforts of the Sherriff's Office.]

Never pick up a cute little feral kitty-cat during a rabies epidemic.

Never throw a brick at an old TV picture tube.

From the Way-Back Machine: Never try to get all the boys in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade on top of the baseball dugout.

Hahaha, this must be the day for jalapeno pepper & body part incidents. Fark.com just had a lovely little thread about this very incident. PM me for a link if you're in for a good laugh. I won't post the link because well, some of the content of Fark.com / TotalFark.com, probably doesn't abide by the BF's guidelines. ;)

Btw: Buttermilk, Whole Milk, and even 2% milk should work to help ease the pain. Skim, not so much.

Sandpaper & Vodka... not so much help.

Actually, a friend of mine had a similar experience. He rubbed some Icy Hot on his legs after a race, and didn't wash his hands before going to the bathroom. Some lessons are learned the hard way. Fortunately I learned this one through someone else's mistake.

look before you start rummaging through the junk drawer. your dumbass might have put something very sharp in there, pointing the wrong way :o

never ask someone you just met if they like to get spanked... oh wait, that worked out fine. nevermind :D

don't take apart a tv, thinking that you have a clue what you're doing, without unplugging it.

don't use permanent marker to touch-up the areas of your head that your friends shaved while you were passed out. it just doesn't work.

when you get caught staring at the secondary sex characteristics of a particulary attractive person, don't look away! look them straight in the eye!

Never add specific details you are unsure about when asking a child if they did something wrong (It gives them an out...).

Never put "numb it" (used for babies gumbs when their teeth come in) on your "man part" to try and make sex last longer. This did not happen to me, but the young man who tried this sent himself and his girlfriend to the emergency room! How embarrassing!

But everyone knows the real answer to that question is the head of a crawfish tastes best. Ya gotta suck the ju-ju out of it.

Aw, gee I made the mistake of cutting up 10 lbs of homegrown, water stressed, very hot jalapenos once for a relish. I had my pepper holding hand in water for three days. . . and was trying to dig the hotstuff out from under my nails for about 5.

It is really much better to run alot of hot peppers thought a hand crank meat grinder. . .but make sure you have a fan blowing pepper vapors away from where you are standing!

My tip? Have your friskies whenever you wish, or not, because having them dosn't mean the one you are having them with will be in any better mood after you are finished.
