Ooooooooouuuuuch! I'm in horrible pain!!! Kill me now!

[Khephra]

I was eating jalapenos and one squirted juice right up my nose!

If there's a god, he'll put my out of my misery any moment now!

Pain, pain, pain, pain!

:evilfrown:

[toddzilla]

1. would stuffing tortilla chips up your nose help??

[Khephra]

3. Don't think so....

Am I dead yet?

:evilfrown:

2. Use butter

and if you can manage it, put the butter on a corn tortilla. It'll kill the heat immediately. Just don't get the tortilla stuck in your nose.

[Khephra]

6. No butter or tortillas here

Thank goodness the pain is starting to stop. I'm afraid I won't be able to smell anything for days now though.

4. Be thankful it wasn't in the eye!

And don't even think about touching sensitive private parts without washing your hands.

[havocmom]

12. And you can wash your hand several time and not get all the hot stuff off.

Did I ever tell you all about the gent I dated who knew I loved hot stuff and wanted to surprise me? He had to turn the car around one evening when we were heading out for a secluded picnic supper. Drove very fast, he did. Spent a loooong time in my shower and kept yelling out "Do you have any more aloe?" Wonder what ever happened to him...

16. the mexicans here in texas have a secret for that

mix salt AND soap in equal measure and scrub. It really helps for peppers and poison ivy within 5 minutes of exposure

[CO Liberal]

15. I Can Vouch For That!!!

One night I was helping Mrs. CO Liberal cook dinner by chopping up some jalapenos. Later on, I rubbed both my eyes, forgetting about what I had chopped up earlier. Instantly, My eyes were burning, and I couldn't open them!

Eventually, I was able to rinse my eyes enough to dilute the pepper juice abd the burning stopped. But for a while there, I was convinced I had blinded myself...

5. Just blow your nose and that should help

get the juice coated booogies out.

[BigMcLargehuge]

oh man, you maced your self

the organic way!

My dad was squeezing the juice of hot red peppers on ants one day, then later, forgetting about the ant crazying incident, rubbed his eyes.

His quote "I won't do that again."

He looked like he had a worst case of pinkeye ever. Ant karma is strong. Don't mess with it.

7. What doesnt kill you

makes you tougher.

Or probably scarred in this case.

Of course that wont be much consolation when you're dead.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Pour warm milk through your nose

As one would normally run through a saline solution, I should think that a warm milk bath would work quite nicely.

I've never done it (though I regularly do the saline solution thing), though, so you takes your chances with this idea.

And whatever you choose, my empathy goes to you. Jalapeno pain is bad, and I'm sure that, while it's not as bad as getting it in the eye, it's GOTTA suck. Hope the pain goes away soon!

[Khephra]

9. Thanks everyone!

It's just a dull ache now. I resorted to water and that worked a bit.

I think I'll be going to bed. When you hurt yourself eating, it just might be time to call it a day.

Night!

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. That's as good a bit of philosophy as I've heard in a long time

When you hurt yourself eating, it just might be time to call it a day.

I concur.

[havocmom]

13. Or, for more fun, try snorting a Margarita

Worth a try.

[Cleita]

10. Look at the positive side. There is nothing like some good

chilis to clear your sinuses, allergies and anything else that was lurking up there where it didn't belong. Oh it will feel good soon, so in the meantime distraction is in order. :-)

[texas1928]

14. You could also snort some ice cream.

but the headache could be a killer.

[Rick Myers]

17. Eat a light bulb!

Divert attention!!!

Pain is temporary!

:evilgrin:

Hey, Yo'!!!

[jukes]

18. table salt

worx on tongue-burn from peppers, much hotter than jalap's. dip your finger in the salt bowl, make sure no1 is watching, then jam that sucker where the sun don't shine (w/o a foil reflector!)


pain will ease in 5-10 secs.

[DemBones DemBones]

19. Don't ever put any pepper parts down a disposal

while standing within breathing range.

Ask me how I know! Ooooohhhhhhhh, my sinuses!
