🔥 PSA for men who cook: After you chop a chili pepper do not – I repeat, do not – go for a pee without washing your hands like your life depends on it.

Don’t ask me how I know. Just trust me when I say chilis and penises do not mix and this is definitely not the kind of fire you want in your pants.

Ow.

@aral There is also nothing to do about it, but wait it out.
If you're hurting too much, try to refrain from rubbing tears from your eyes with those same hands. All from personal experience.
If you have kids, you should not help them if they get something in their eye - also from personal experience.

@jeppe Ouch, yeah. Although soap and water did help (which would make sense given it’s an oil). Alcohol should also help so I guess if you wanted to be a Real Man™ about it, you could try sticking your jolly roger in a glass of whiskey. Or a tub of yogurt, perhaps.

@aral I think it very *manly* to just wait it out 😬
Next time - because who learns - I will just have a glass of whiskey to enjoy will waiting for the pain to go away.
The tub of yogurt is probably the best solution, in fact.
