anyone got spare eyeball?

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

before anyone asks yes I washed my hands twice - with soap i was deseeding some iranian red chiilies, washed my hands, sat down with the laptop and rubbed my right eye - sweary words think i've lost my eyeball sitting here holding a piece of frozen fish to my eye, it flaming nips and i can'tt do caps cause i can't see the keyboard right - no specs on. so how many times have you been caught out by a chilli seed and how many times do you was your hands? i'd use a smiley icon but i ain't smiling

Milk at room temp is supposed to help.

Feelin your pain.. I've done the same...and ooo the Snot.

PMSL, sorry.............

No, I feel your pain.

Bicarb or lemon juice rubbed in will help your fingers; but not sure what to do about your eye.

I hear urine can help...







...It's not true, just wondered if you'd try it!

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Frozen fish has numbed it and I think I may have burned away the wrinkles around my eye. If I offer anyone Iranian Red Chilli seeds it's probably safer to say no thanks. Guess who has her specs on

Ollie, a man might be able to wee in his eye (let's be honest a mans sense of direct isn't brilliant at the best of times) but how does a woman wee in her own eye? No diagrams please

Via an eggcup.

Eggcup!

I so want to say with a handstand and gravity,
but I won't

I feel your pain Frostyfreckle. I've only done it once and it was excrutiating. Now I ALWAYS wear gloves when working with chillies.
You could try some yoghurt on your eye. It's said to work.
And watch out for those hands - they will still be lethal.

[Seahorse]

Oh dear FF! Having quite literally seen a grown man cry after an encounter with an Iranian red, I have every sympathy

I've only done the post chilli chopping eye rubbing thing once (not something you forget easily ) but of course the time I did it was when I'd prepared a chilli sauce for a posh 'do', so I had to serve it all red eyed and sniffly

4 ideas:
1) The eggcup idea (can imagine overfilling being an issue though)
2) Into a jug with a handy pourer!
3) Doing a headstand in the bath!
4) Borrowing a guy...

As most people probably know Capsaicin (the burny stuff in Chillies) is fat soluble not water soluble, so milk, yoghurt, cream are all good solutions. As for the egg cup thing, shouldn't be a problem if you've been doing your Kegels

Ah well..some of us just have to learn the hard way!!...
