bluemongoose Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Dicing Jalapenos. I did this just a couple of weeks ago, hours after I had diced jalapenos and washed my hands 2x with soap. It still burned like fire and I couldnt see. :crying: ETA: I forgot one! Years ago it was Icy Hot. That hurt like a muthuh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemongoose Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 treating your daughter's poison ivy.... Yikes! Did you get the meds in your eye or did you spread the poison ivy to your eye??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 After seeding jalapeno peppers. And if you ever get sprayed with pepper spray don't wash your hair in the shower. It will run into your eyes. And your mouth. And get up your nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Oh goodness!!!!!! All of those sound really painful!!!! There is another thing you should never do with Icy Hot. If you go and spend an entire day learning to snowboard, go back to your cabin on shaking throbbing legs, do not take a hot shower and spread icy hot all over your legs!!!!! I thought I was going to die!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not eyes, but... Don't scratch your lady bits even an hour or two after you've chopped jalapenos, no matter how many times you've washed your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The meds only went in my eye, but I bee-lined it to the dr's and told them and they immediately gave me drops in case I did get the poison ivy into my eyes. Not a fun week. oh, I hate IcyHot! I will only spread it on my hubby's back with a q-tip now. I won't touch the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the same line, people should keep their hands to themselves after handling hot peppers without gloves. Otherwise one might learn a new meaning for "hot for you, baby!"

Kathryn Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 LOL! Last night I put Ben Gay on DH's back. I washed my hand, so I thought I was safe to not only run my eye, but touch my eyeball all up in the process. Not a good idea. At all.

Parrothead Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Or don't let your dh near you if he's used pepper spray at work anytime in the last 24 hours, even if he showers and washes over and over again,.... Oh, dear. I'll have to remember that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Don't forget to have someone help you hold that cat when giving him his dewormer medicine. If you don't he will shake his head and most likely SPIT a GOB of it right into YOUR MOUTH. :blink: It doesn't taste good. :ack2: Also if the above happens don't tell your husband unless you want him to say, "Well at least we know you won't get worms" :cursing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my2boysteacher Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Do not.... Put jalapeños in the dehydrator in a populated room. Every time one of my kids walked through the room they complained of sore throat and shortness of breath. We had to move it outside until they finished dehydrating.

swimmermom3 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This looks like the perfect crowd to solve the Great Thanksgiving Day Mystery. Yesterday, as the guests were arriving and my dh (the head chef) was getting ready to pull the turkey out of the oven, dh's eyes began to swell and his throat became scratchy. He spent Thanksgiving dinner appearing at the head of the table as a rather attractive Cyclops. One eyelid is still swollen 24 hours later. He cannot figure out what he touched. All of the main cooking was done except for the gravy, so there were no spices or anything else out. We gave him an antihistamine and allergen eyesdrops which made the situation managable, but uncomfortable. He wears glasses,so he is not typically in the habit of rubbing his eyes. The only thing he could think of was that he ate a few green olives with pimentos while cooking. Would that have done it? It was a fairly severe reaction. I can't believe all of the useful information that I am learning on this thread. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 ...petting the cat. This wasn't me , but we had an exchange student who put our cat in her lap and was petting and petting and petting him. Then she said, "I love cats. I love cats SO much." Then she said, "I can't have a cat, because I am allergic to cats." Then her eyes started to feel a little itchy, so she rubbed her eyes. :crying: Poor thing, her eyes swelled shut.

jenn- Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Let's see, don't assume that the plant that did not have a hotness to it two days before is actually a sweet pepper and you just mislabeled them. No, you were right they were hot and they were cross pollentated with a serano pepper plant so some were not hot, some were the mild poblano pepper (which is bad enough in the eyes) and some were OMG freakin' hot. Yeah, 9 hours later I brillantly took my contacts out. What's really sad? Not the first time this has happened. I also had fun putting in my contacts after chopping an onion.

Mama Geek Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 My not yet 2 year old was really getting into both eating and playing with crawfish that had spice dumped on them. She was having a great time until she rubbed her eyes. She screamed for a good 15 minutes, the waitresses at the restaurant had obviously handled stuff that like before and they were the only ones with clean hands. Dh held dd and the waitress kept washing her face in cold water. She won't even taste a crawfish ever since then. That was early this spring.

Hedgehog Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hmm. Mine would be - don't chop onions and then go to try and take your contact lens out. I swear I washed my hands in between but it was pretty dire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
