Green Hot chilli is burning my hands! few cooling tips

omg! its still paining red hot even at the time of writing this post... it all started today morning when i decided to make myself instant Maggie pasta for my breakfast though it already contains a taste-maker i thought of spicing it up with beans, tomatoes,coriander and other vegetables and not to forget a decent amount of green chillies 2 to 3 short ones while cutting the green chillies inspite of my sister warning i did not handled it carefully i cut and removed the chilli seeds with bare hands now after 15 mins of preparation my hands started burning insanely hot now its almost 3hrs the sensation and intensity is still the same so after googling for the tips i came across variety of tips on how to relieve the pain below are few tips that worked to some extent for me....

--> First of all never try to touch chilli in bare hands else never let the contact more than finger tips If possible wear kitchen gloves.

--> Once inflammation starts there is no way that water, soap, shampoo, oil or any other detergents can relieve the pain... since capsaicin is a fat or alcohol soluble rubbing the hands with water or alcohol solution and even milk can relieve pain drastically..

--> Since chillies contains Capsaicin which is alkaline adding a lemon or vinegar and rubbing will neutralize burn and also olive oil is said to be good pain reliever

--> Some say soaking hands in milk or rubbing with a salt can reduce pain by removing traces of capsican to certain extent.

over all i tried the lemon tip and it worked for me by relieving the burning affect by 60% so guys next time be careful with chillies, chillies are not only hot but pain in the as** :) and did you know some times chillies acts as narcotics giving the same effects that illegal drugs give? because i personally felt very much high in restaurants when ever i ate chilly chicken and when purposely ate/chewed few chillies because it releases a chemical seratonine in brain which is contained in many illegal drugs...

so guys and gals if you have any great tip which you think it worked for you do let us know and share with us here.
