Relieve Hot Pepper Burn: Quick Relief for Stinging Hands

Ever notice that hours and sometimes days after you slice a jalapeno or other hot pepper, your fingers still burn? These quick tips will help you rid your fingers of that irritation.

  • After cutting a jalapeno or any other type of hot pepper always wash your hands immediately to remove any excess oil from them.

  • Take a bottle of rubbing alcohol (can be purchased at any pharmacy or grocery store) and pour it over your fingers and hands.

  • Let it remain on your hand for at least a minute to give it the opportunity to break down the oils that remain on your hands.

  • After letting it stand, you can just dry your hand with a towel and go on about your day.
