DONT ever do this.

semologger · February 18, 2012, 09:32:36 PM

I was cutting up some Jalapeno peppers up tonight for some queso dip. Got done and there were a couple pieces still on the knife. Dont ever lick the remaining pieces off the knife.

I had my lips stuck in the milk jug for a couple of minutes after words.

I just wasnt thinking natural reaction to lick the knife.

LOGDOG · February 18, 2012, 09:41:44 PM

Whewwww ...ouch! Can you say "concentrated"?

Magicman · February 18, 2012, 10:02:44 PM

I can think

of another reason to "not lick a knife blade".

it's also wise to be careful while using the loo after working with peppers

Think of the parts of your body that are even more sensitive than your tongue...

You DO NOT want Chilli Juice there :D

happened to a guy at a cookout... His new nickname is "Peter Burns" :D :D

My dad loved jalapeno's that had been pickled. Later in life he developed diverticulitis. Drs. then blamed flair ups on things like seed from peppers, tomatoes, celery seed, you get the pick. I always put up jalapeno's to have with vegetables. The year dad developed the diverticulitis, I took time to seed a quart jar of peppers for dad. I had washed my hands very well, for a while with soap. The capsaicin had been absorbed into my hands and fingers. You talk about burn and pain. I tried baking soda, vinegar, baking powder, more soap and water. It was quite a while before the discomfort subsided. We now keep a box of surgical gloves in a kitchen cabinet.

Don't mess with your contact lenses after cutting hot peppers, either. Had a nephew who tried that.......

cinnabar · February 19, 2012, 12:16:15 PM

I feel your pain, semologger. Years ago I had a nasty headcold, the kind where your nose is raw from all the tissue use. Anyway, I had made some fresh salsa cleaned up the kitchen, then I blew my nose, then wiped my watery eyes...bad choice. Ended up in the shower fully clothed trying to wash my face off, nose running gasping for air. The only upside, my cold was completely gone the next day.
Always use gloves or at least a plastic bag over your hands and chop on non-porous surfaces. It bothers me to see the TV cooks chopping peppers without anything on their hands and on wooden cutting boards, like the flavors and hots don't transfer or linger ???. Some people it must bother more than others. Better safe than sorry.

I went through a stage where I was selling vegetables at the farmer's market. I found out that wasn't very profitable.... Anyway, one day I had brought some jaberneros to sell-- would never eat such things, you understand... and I had just handled them whole, never cut them or anything, but I went to scratch my nose, and WHAM! I was down for the count. Well, I had to leave the table until I had managed to get everything under control.

I recently had some stuffed jalapenos at our local chinese buffet, they were some good, not too hot, since they had had the seeds cleaned out.

sawguy21 · February 19, 2012, 01:43:26 PM

Ian, that is exactly what I was thinking. :D

SPIKER · February 19, 2012, 04:09:05 PM

we did some food lunching at work, one of my co-workers brought in some peppers and had cut em up on her carving board, went to wash it off scrapped off with her fingers and rubbed her eyes

yep was silly mistake.

My sister made worse mistake, middle of night had a flare up of nether region and reached for the prep-H to calm things down. accidentally picked up the deep heat needless to say she was doing the 8) dance.

Oh, that's WTMI!

semologger · February 19, 2012, 08:29:38 PM

well its been 24 hours and no problems from the other ends. :D. i love peppers and have never had any worries about that problem. although sometimes eating subway they do put a few to many jalos in the sandwiches for my wife to even take a bite of mine. But i like it.

My dad on the other hand loves to eat hot food. I have seen him break out sweating just eating more than you will see me running a chainsaw on a 100 degree day. Any of you sweat when you eat hot food?

QuoteAny of you sweat when you eat hot food?

That's when you know you have got it "about right" :D

Now my buddy made some Habanero vodka a couple of years back... That could bring out a sweat just by looking at the bottle :-\ Habanero isn't the hottest of all chillies, but it's about 10X the heat of Jalapenos.

I am sensitive to anything spicy like that-- even mild chili is really too much for me. When I was a lad, my parents used to buy the Tony's Pizza from the grocery store and we would have about 3 of those on Sundays. The pepperonis on Tony's would make my dad's bald head sweat. My sisters thought that was so funny they called the pepperoni flavor "Sweaty-Head." ;D

sandhills · February 20, 2012, 01:23:49 AM

I like a little heat, average jalopenos won't bother me any but I do have my limits, and yes I also dug at one eye once while slicing peppers, completely involuntary response to an itch, but oooooooh my. :'(

Den Socling · February 20, 2012, 01:09:23 PM

Some years ago I was visiting my brother in Arizona. We shared a jalapeno pizza with extra jalapenos. We cried like babies.

And I cried again the next day. :

LOGDOG · February 20, 2012, 06:31:30 PM

Sounds like a Johnny Cash song to me.

LeeB · February 21, 2012, 08:17:52 AM

Never tried Habanero Vodka, but i do like a dab of my home made Habanero sauce in my Jack & Water.
A lot of you know I like to make my own habanero sauce. On a sorta funny note, one night after making a batch, I went to bed and crawled in with Lindy,who had gone to bed earlier. I pulled her close and started getting cozy and she moaned a litlle. I thought I was a king up till I got a smack in the face and she told me right quick to get my pepper hands off of her. What I mistook for burning desire was just plain burning on her part. :

Den Socling · February 21, 2012, 11:06:01 AM

Burning on her parts!

LeeB · February 21, 2012, 04:23:23 PM

I guess I should proof read a little better. That's not how I meant to say that, but essentially , yes. Sorry if this steps over the line.

Den Socling · February 22, 2012, 09:23:17 AM

I don't see any need to apologize. I twisted the context. I'm just twisted! :D

semologger · February 22, 2012, 09:33:06 AM

I think all of us are a little twisted. :D. Kind of reminded me of Bill Enval joke. If you heard it you know what it is.

LeeB · February 22, 2012, 10:02:29 AM

I'm not bothered by it at all. I just didn't want to cross any forum lines. I'm as crass and coarse as they come. Sometimes it's hard for me to keep it rated g.

Lee,

I'm right there with you. Sometime the old Senior Chief Petty Officer comes out of me and I have a real hard time keeping it G rated. :

Actually It cracked me up. Yesterday I was picking some Habernaos with my Son and I told him the story. He could related and not too long ago he tried to dehydrate some in his kitchen which turned his whole house into a pepper spray chamber. ;)
