“Better than a sharp stick in the eye” is a useful adage. “I had to wrestle a frozen turd away from my beagle, but it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye,” you might say. “My breakfast burrito tastes disconcertingly gamey, but it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye,” you might also say. You know what’s worse than a sharp stick in the eye? A splash of jalapeño in the eye, that’s what. Even tiny amounts of spicy foods can cause blinding eye pain and injury. Fortunately, there are a few tactics you can try to ease the burn.

“Chili con carne” is another name for Texas chili which does not have beans.
I do not know what is wrong with young adults today but they have no idea how to properly stock a medicine cabinet.
A class on first aid and proper medication and medical instruments to have on hand has been added to our young parenting class because they are clueless.
Your kids are going to get hurt. You need to be able to bridge the gap between "rub some dirt on it" and the ER.
I have a friend that flies for a small air charter service here in Alaska. While dropping off a couple at a remote cabin he asked if they had any “bear repellent” as this was brown bear country. My pilot friend gave them two cans of bear spray, a super strong capsaicin based defense spray. As he taxied to the end of the lake to take off, he looked back to see the now partially clothed couple writhing in agony on the beach. Upon returning to the dock he discovered that they had used the bear spray in the manner of mosquito repellent! Soaking themselves with it to smell bad for the bears. I have it on good authority that there are times when a soak in a 37 degree Alaskan lake can feel real good!
Use salty water to wash the wounds.
they are the same thing

5 will do a whole pot of 5 alarm chile for heat
No, and few FReeper follow links (unofficial "expert" estimate) so the poster should have included:
milk.. because capsaicin is a fat-soluble compound; in other words, it gets broken down by dairy ..soak a paper towel in milk, lie down on your back, and place it over your eye.
sadly MOST things posted to FR must be excerpted.
Did that recently. I just cried for a while. It take a LONG time for the tears to wash Jalapeno juice out of your eyes.
I once chopped some jalapenos, then, much later, attempted to put my contacts in. I had showered and washed my hands repeatedly, including brushing around and under the nails using an old toothbrush.
I about clawed my eye out when the contact touched it. Ruined the lens and couldn’t wear contacts for several days.
Yessir...
yup.
Yes, however, you can normally can post up to 300 words from most sites (count here ) or about 5-10% of an article, and at least the first 100 word summary or lead will be seen in the FR Articles page (if you choose Text) - and under Settings you can select up to 250 articles to be shown
Supplemental: An exhortation to those who post thread (normally post as much of the meat of the article as allowed, describe videos, etc.)
Chili with meat is redundant. Chili con frijoles is an oxymoron.
