I spent this past weekend at the beach with my family. A little run to the pier, french toast breakfast, lots of laying out, a Dairy Queen run and a crazy thunderstorm all made for the perfect beach weekend. Saturday evening, after I got a little too much sun, my mom and I decided to make a fruity salsa. Fresh pineapple, peaches, mangos (or was it papaya?), onion, cilantro and jalapenos. I have to be honest, I'm almost 28 and I've never chopped a jalapeno. And after that experience I'm not sure I ever will again.
My mom and my brother's gf said they've never experienced the burn so we were surprised when my fingers started to burn. You guys, it was bad. I tried numerous remedies including scrubbing my hands with soap, showering (worst idea EVER), sitting with my hand in a cup of milk, vegetable oil (whoever listed that online was being a jokester), Benadryl, and finally aloe.
Here's a little word to the wise. Skip directly to the aloe. And wear gloves.
