Interesting Jalapenos in the News

Jalapeno's Vs. Serrano's - which pepper do you like better?

An Email from a Jalapeno Lover - "feedback on burning hands question"

Hey Mike,

I've been looking up what the internet has to say about burning your hands on peppers.  I just did this for the second time on Saturday night.  They weren't jalapeno peppers - they were chili peppers - but still, maybe this information will be helpful for you.

It was the worst pain ever.  The first time, months ago, one suggestion I found online was to soak your hands in rubbing alcohol.  That did the trick.

This time, it didn't work at all.  I called a nurse on an emergency line, and she said to soak my hands in vegetable oil.  That does not work at all either!

Called my uncle who's a doctor, and he said to call poison control.

Called poison control, who knew what I was talking about right away; she even had a name for it that I didn't catch.  She said to soak my hands in Maalox or Mylanta for twenty minutes.  She said it does something to the nerve endings in your hands.  She was totally right.  It was the only thing that stopped the pain for good (though cold water brought temporary relief).  My hands felt weird (nerve endings i guess) for the next day but feel fine now.

Def learned my lesson (always wear gloves!), and I thought it would help people who come to your site to let you know about the cure.

Sincerely,

A visitor from Washington, DC

NOTE from Jalapeno Madness: I did some research and found many people suggesting either Maalox or Mylanta to alleviate the burning some experience from cutting jalapenos without gloves. It works for some people, like milk or a dairy product like Sour Cream works for others. CLICK HERE to visit a Yahoo Answers Thread on the subject.

General rule: Use gloves or a chopping device that keeps your skin safe. I personally have no problems with burning hands, although I have on occasion rubbed an eye after cutting peppers and got a little surprise. Oops! Beware. Peppers are delicious, but can be quite hot.
