Chilli Antidote

If I eat anything that's to hot I have found that a spoon full of sugar helps the burning go down. I just let it dissolve on my tongue and run down my throat. Milk helps the stomach. For minor burning ice cream is great.
 
I'm duly respectful and careful when handling the extra-hot ones, but I let my precautions slip this morning cutting a ripe Anaheim for breakfast, and got some in my eyes. :eek: Ouch.

By the time I could look at the computer screen the burn was subsiding. But for next time... what's the best thing to smush into my eyes?

Sheesh. I never learn.
