Question

SO MUCH PAIN! OMG. SERIOUSLY HELP!

Answer 1

no dont put a cold rag the cold feels good but doesnt do anything long term, yeah it might help a little bit but the yogurt and milk work the best! This happened to my room mate and we experimented and so good luck!

Answer 2

my husband just got jalapeno juice in his eye. we flushed with milk, then put milk in a shotglass and held it on his eye for a few minutes. then I put a thin layer or plain low fat yogurt on a thick slice of cucumber. he litterally has had in on his eye (closed of course) for about a minute in a half and said he has instant relief. thanks for all the suggestions!

Answer 3

put 1/2 tsp of salt on your tongue and it takes the burn away within seconds, and you only have to do it once

Answer 4

For those of you who have to type smart alleck remarks, you really need to get an attitude check.  My 10 year old son made me breakfast in bed.  He made an omlet with jalepeno peppers.  A few minutes later he ran upstairs crying that his eyes were burning.  I instantly googled this and received some great info.  Milk did work, then I washed his eye out with eye wash.  Thank you to all who responded out of a caring heart.

Answer 9

Got it in my nose, from just touching dried seeds, sour cream really did the trick just looked like i had a really bad drug problem, for about 10 mins...lol

Answer 10

What I did when I got habanero juice in my eyes was got a cloth napkin and two ice cream pops or whatever and set them on my eyes. After a few minutes, I could open my eyes and see! But I must warn you, you might look like a raccoon, but only because the blood is rushing to around your eyes to sooth them. ICE CREAM WORKS! Thank goodness!
WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM HABANERO PEPPERS! THEY ARE MURDER!

Answer 11

Putting some yogurt on your eye works the best. I tried water & milk, but yogurt was the only one that worked. It stopped the sting & I could see in 20 seconds of putting it on!

Answer 12

This just happened to me and I followed the instructions for using milk. My eye instantly felt better. Thanks everyone that suggested using dairy!

Answer 13

ANY DAIRY PRODUCT...YOGURT, MILK, COTTAGE CHEESE.........

Answer 14

this just happened to me, I tried to put water in my eye and that just seemed to make it worse. My girlfriend told me to put my hair in my eye and the oil from the hair takes the sting away. Low and behold it worked!!!!!!

Answer 15

Answer 16

Answer 17

I just did this cutting up jalapenos but got it up my nose, in my eye, across my face. The stuff is potent - I also touched my nuts one day after cutting peppers and it just.. sucked. On the upside, I no longer have any nose congestion.

Answer 18

OMG yogurt works...................... i guess

Answer 19

this JUST happened to me, and i came on here to see what others did.  At first, I tried to flush it out with water, and put a cold rag on it, which just seemed to make it worse and spread the pain around, my roomate then suggested slowly flushing the eye with milk, and it worked immediately.

Answer 20

Put a big thick glob of yogurt over the eye.  The relief is immediate.  It just happened to my husband when he was removing seeds from a pepper and then touching his eyes.  
Fortunately, while my husband was screaming that he went blind, I remember from eating at a Indian friend's house and ate a pepper without seeing it.  She offered me a big glob of non-fat yogurt to eat and it worked.  
Hope this helps the next person.  My husband insisted that I put this info on the website.
