I think I just pepper-sprayed myself.OK. Not actual pepper spray, but I rubbed my eye a few minutes ago and immediately it started burning with the intensity of a thousand suns. Holy hell it hurt.
And now, after several minutes and about a gallon of water, the pain and burn is subsiding.
I had cut up two Anaheim peppers earlier tonight to add to pasta sauce. I must've had a small amount of oil on my hands and it imbedded itself in my right eye.
I hope I never, ever have to feel this sensation again. Ever. Again.
Amen.
B!

Amen indeed. I just saw your facebook status and felt for you. My roommate reading over my shoulder says "ouchies".
While the blog was good. You discribing it in person was even better.
I gotta say, I feel for you. But, I certainly had a hearty chuckle reading this post with the associated photo.
ah, been there, done that. it sucks more than getting oxy clean in your eye. i had the added bonus of the pepper juices causing a flaming, itchy, unsightly rash all over my hands. oh, and did i mention that all this was in prep for a party i was throwing? great party. i spent it on the outdoor couch with a cloth plastered over my eyes and my hands in a champagne bucket full of ice water. photographs were forbidden.
