Peppers in my eye

Peppers in your eye? Rinse with cold water for 15 minutes to relieve the burning.

(forgive me for being so quick about getting to the point unlike another blogger who made me read through squinted teary eyes about her whole family history and traumatic pepper in the eyes experience before finally getting to the point about what to do when you get pepper in your eye.)

Actually, I am extremely grateful to her because otherwise i would have had to follow my husband’s suggestion to hold a slice of bread up to my eye.

Actually, I’ll admit that I did try his stupid bread suggestion, but I didn’t think it would work, I just felt like I was depending upon the internet a little too much and wanted to use my brain instead of google’s to find the answer, but I couldn’t for the life of me decide whether the pepper was an acid or a base.

Here are some of the suggestions from the goofballs that answer questions on yahoo and wiki answers…

milk
tomato juice
call 911
go to the doctor
ice
next time just eat the peppers
tea bags
submerge your head in ice water
go to the hospital
call a doctor in the morning
aloe vera body lotion
pure aloe vera
benadryl

Anyway- it’s better now and I’m not blind. And it was just plain bell peppers. I think.

And apparently most people are smart enough to wear gloves when they cut peppers. It’s a good thing I didn’t go potty afterward.
