how do you neutralize that feeling of FIRE on your tongue?

Question

when you eat somthing like jalapenos

i tried everything that i could think of but nothing worked... i even tried drinking pure chocolate surup for chocolate milk

i meant INSTANTLY neutralize the feeling

now how the *** am i suppose to chose a best answer for u ppl when you all say the same thing.... i know i could chose no best answer but i just wont do that

Answer 1

Bread, crackers, rolls, anything like that will soak up the "fire", which is actually caused by the oils in the peppers. Drinking practically anything will not do the trick....remember, oil & water won't mix? That means that the liquid will go away all by itself, and not take the oils with it, therefore making the fire continue to burn!

Answer 2

Yes, the above respondents are correct. Drink milk, not water. Milk works faster in fanning out those "hot" taste buds receptors that have been overstimulated to the point of irritation.

Answer 3

Drink milk?

Answer 4

Cool cucumber slices. At alot of Indian restaurants they give you a side plate with cucumber slices to cool the tongue after eating something really spicy :)

Answer 5

The mucousy feeling from Milk. OR take bread and wipe it on your tongue and eat it

Answer 6

You want an instant neutralization of jalapenos? Blow your brains out dude! That's the only thing that will provide instant relief. If you want something less severe, drink beer and lots of it. Or try Tequila, and lots of it. Depends on how bad ya got it, and how quick ya want it to go away!

Answer 7

A tortillla, or bread. Lots of milk.

Answer 8

Yogurt or sour cream. Just hold it in your mouth for at least 30 seconds.

If you don't have those try peanut butter, coat your tongue and leave for a bit.

Answer 9

One of three things works for most people: milk, sugar, or vinegar.

Answer 10

Drink white milk, or chew gum.
