I was going around with cold water in a cup. I tried to lay down and it was miserable so I soaked them in a bucket in the bed and ended up getting water all over the bed. My left hand was the worst. I literally felt like I had been burned. I’m going to make some more cabbage salsa but I’ll definitely put on gloves. I had it happen once before so you think I would have learned. That was when I tried to make jalapeno poppers from sratch (which have never really turned out for me). I guess I thought that just cutting up two wouldn’t cause the same reaction as cutting up a bunch but I learned my lesson.
LOL yes, it’s misery! My husband once put his contacts in after touching them—he had washed his hands but I guess he didn’t get all of the oil of. OOOO man that hurt (at least he says it did and I believe him!)

It’s good to know this. I never knew that about chopping jalapeno peppers. I’ve never had to chop them up. I’ll know in the future to where gloves. I have enough problems in the winter with my hands getting sore from getting chapped.
