My embarasing habit.

Well HotPepper, it's happened to me again, I think this is the 4th time. I have an embarasing habit of touching my genitals without even realising that capsaisan is still lingering on my finger tips.

It's very painful, like a burn which builds very slowly until it becomes almost unbearable, all other times I was forced to scrub the willy in the shower for about 10 minutes to get rid of the burn. This time I at least washed my hands between.

I'm lucky because this time instead of cutting up Habs and Serranos I was handeling Butch T hot sauce. I may not need to waste water yet.

I can't be the only one who gets knob and ball burn, admit it guys!
 
I've had significant "cockburn" after cutting up some bhut jolokia, went for a piss and BAM!!! What an exhilarating rush it was to!!!
 
I'm far too careful to fall for the old "cock & balls" trap.

1. When making sauce I'll often wear latex gloves, which while they aren't foolproof, do help. $1.99 at the drug store, this is a recommended addition to your kitchen, for the benefit of "your kitchen".

2. Another thing I do is try to minimize my physical contact with the pepper oils while processing them. It's not that hard to do.

3. I've learned the hard way that if my nose itches, wipe it on my shoulder. If my nuts itch, let 'em itch. If I have to go to the bathroom, see #4.

4. Finally, I wash my hands frequently after handling peppers - if my hands are burning (I generally get it on the backs of my fingers where the skin is kinda tender) I wash them in ice cold gin, followed by soap & cold water.


Haven't had too bad a burn anywhere except one time I made the mistake of rubbing my eye after handling some particularly hot habs - which ruined my whole afternoon. blurred vision, headache, itching burning pain - eye got all puffy red and swollen. That was a good lesson for me.
 
Hahahahaha TB. We're talking about avoiding the tranfer of capscaicin from your hands to your trouser snake.
If you don't like the Tongs idea, you could use an empty Toilet Paper roll as a protector, I use the ones from a Paper Towel Roll.

I just keep a 100 foot roll of fire hose on hand.

I run it straight into the neighbors pool.

Kills ever 'thang so they don't even have to use chlorine.
 
When processing peppers for personal use I wash up and usually do that barehanded, but before starting I always throw a pair of Nitrile gloves on the tank of the toilet. Put em on, do your thang, take them off and wash up.
 
To prevent this from ever happening, I always use a fork and a knife when cutting peppers. I don't poke the pepper with the fork though, I just use it to hold the pepper in place while I slice and dice. You can't burn your manhood if the peppers never touch your hands.

But I have still gotten myself a time or three after getting hot sauce on my fingers. Thankfully, the hottest sauce to burn has only been a habanero. I'm not looking forward to the day that it happens with a super hot sauce.
 
Why only 100 ft. of fire hose?
Oh I get it,cold water makes it shrink up several feet so you need an extention. :)

Where's the rum to get these images out of my mind? I'm so glad that I'm a woman. But this is funny, I've had a few good laughs while reading.
