HELP!!! Chopping hot peppers, and now his nose is on fire!?

Question

We're having a problem...we're cooking dinner, and my boyfriend was cutting up the hot chili peppers - brushed his nose with his hand, and now is in total misery. Drinking water will NOT get rid of the burn - it's in his nose, and he's miserable.

What can we do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Answer 1

this will sound gross, and feel worse, but slather some yogurt or sour cream on the burns.  Dairy products sort of "cacel" or "neturalize" the capzaicin in the peppers, which causes the burn.

And remind him to wear gloves next time......

Answer 2

I know this sounds crazy but it will work... have him dip his nose in milk. Or rub vanilla ice cream on it... Hope this helps!

Answer 3

put milk on it

Answer 4

I don't know, but tell him before it's too late not to go to the bathroom!  Honestly, my boyfriend found out the hard way!

Answer 5

Not much you can do

wash hands very well.

He can take a show and try to rinse some of the pepper residue of his nose.

make sure he washes his hands before he rinses his nose

He can also dunk his head in water and rub his nostrils to help remove the residue.

the pain will go away.
