Don't chop jalapeno peppers without wearing gloves. If you do this anyway, don't use your thumb to peel off the skin that holds the seeds. Seriously.
After a couple of hours, I washed my hands for about ten minutes. Then I tried to take my contacts out. Holy God. Don't do that either. Just sleep in them. Oh, and washing your hands the next day (or swimming!) just makes them burn more.
Milk doesn't help. Neither does bleach, lemon juice or ice. According to the cat, ass pie doesn't work either. She ate some of the sauce I made and then licked her butt, apparently to diminish the spiciness. Then she dragged her butt across the floor and sat in her water dish.
Jalapenos can cause much havoc. And much entertainment if you are married to me.
