Right now my left pinky is burning up like crazy. I just came back chopping peppers for salsa and curry and wow... definitely will have to wear a glove next time.
[Edit: Even after washing with soap the heat was still there (warm water made it worse...cold was better). I decided to spray rubbing alcohol and felt about 85% relief. When cooking and getting burnt, cold water helps but draws the heat inward. Alcohol brings out the heat from the body. Learned this technique from an old cook from NY.]
[Edit: The burn wasn't as bad, but still felt it. Mom's old remedy worked like a charm. Dunk the finger in a mix of water and baking soda (50:50). Baking soda detoxifies. All better! =)]
