What do you use when mouth on fire from peppers?

Question

ate habanero salss by accident and mouth brning really painfuly bad

Answer 1

My girlfriend had just eaten a Hawaiian chili pepper last week (not from here, did not know better), and they are hot, hot, hot!  I had just read that eating chocolate would calm a burning mouth, and sure enough, it worked.  Whatever you do, do not drink water!

Answer 2

a spoon full of sugar and let it dissolve in mouth

Answer 3

milk (not water) coz the substance that makes that burning sensation is an oil and oil easily mixes with milk.

Add sugar to taste, but dont drink it if dont want to pass hot burning stools.

Answer 4

Put some milk in your mouth and rinse, spit it out. Don't swallow the milk it'll take the burning sensation with it as it goes down.  Or suck on a saltine.

Answer 5

milk

Answer 6

bread, it soaks up, cleans out your mouth.

fluids just spread them around and it;s temporary

Answer 7

Milk, ice cream, ice cold lemonade or honey are some of the choices.

Answer 8

My son ate one of those peppers and sneezed while it was in his mouth.  The burning sensation went into his sinus cavities and all he could do is vomit mucus.  It seemed to take forever for the burning to stop.  

I knew a Spanish woman who said putting salt on your tongue would make the burning stop.  It didn't help in my son's case, but likely would if burning is only in your mouth.

Answer 9

Rinse with milk.

Answer 10

Milk or sugar. Coat your tongue in sugar and let it melt there.

Answer 11

try use salt to reduce the hot in mouth.

Answer 12

Yes, milk is the established remedy, however I would recommend a high butter fat ice cream (most national brands will do).  This will provide your palette with the neccessary lactose to difuse the capsicum (the source of your malady) and the cold from the ice cream will serve to numb the nerve endings and receptors on your tongue (taste buds), thus providing instant, as well as prolonged relief.

Answer 13

SALT....ONLY LIKE A TEASPOON  ..DON'T SWALLOW..LET IT SIT ON YOUR TONGUE..BELIEVE ME THIS WORKS..

Answer 14

milk.

Answer 15

Milk and bread are the best things to eat, water just makes it run around your mouth more, and ice doesn't help at all it just makes a stinging feeling.

Answer 16

drink something. except soda because its already fizzy and it will burn your mouth even more.

Answer 17

you must immediately put sugar in your mouth !!!!!!

Answer 18

beer

lime

sour cream

Answer 19

I've always heard that milk helps. Anything with fats should cool it down, which is why if you eat peppers alone it's sizzling, but with food, it's not so bad. Water doesn't have any fats, so it won't help much, some say it makes it worse.

Answer 20

Milk. . . Or, lime juice! Also, try lemon juice too! I also heard that tequila works also, seriously! :o/

Answer 21

chocolate has been known to reduce the burning from peppers

Answer 22

a spoonfull of peanut butter. let it melt and dissolve in your mouth.

Answer 23

eat raw chili leaves

Answer 24

drink water with the peppers

Answer 25

Not supposed to use anything. Try running your mouth under not freezing, but cool water then put flour on your tongue for a bit. Drinking pop or juice or anything makes it worse, don't eat a lot until it's died down too.

Answer 26
