and now I'm paying the price.
Had a dish of some pepper tops (I pull the stem then cut a little off the top of all my peppers so I can peek inside for anything that shouldn't be there) in my fridge I was planning on adding to some pepper rings I made earlier to add a bit of heat and maybe some lovely hab flavor, not even thinking I picked the best ones out to set aside to munch on, tossed a few in each jar of pepper rings, and about two minutes ago I rubbed my left eye.
Bloody hell....
Lesson learned, capsaicin is a harsh but beautiful mistress indeed.
