Burning sensation in my hand after cutting green chilli?

Question

I had invited my friends yesterday for lunch and while cooking I had to cut quite a few green chillies. Now my I have a burning sensation on my hand. Can anybody suggest any solution for this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can rinse with lemon or vinegar and cool water, knead bread doughor use one of those stainless steel blocks to help remove the remainder of oils. Also when next you cook chile's remember to use gloves to prevent this happening again as you can develop a more severe reaction over time. Good Luck!

After living in the Southwest for a long time where chili is king I have learned a few tricks. Brew a pot or really strong black tea and soak your hands in it after peeling chili or wear latex gloves. Of all the things I have tried these work the best.
