I used to swear by black olive juice, but, that was years ago.

I used to go to this great pho place in the university district, $5 for a big delicious bowl of soup. They have the bean sprouts and the jalepenos on the side. One day I was leaving the restaurant and my eyes were itchy, so I scratched them and almost got in an accident cause I was blinded
 
I realize the problem will be long solved, but for people like me, searching for advice on a current pepper/jalapeño burn, I want to add this, dish soap works as a temporary solution, but only for a minute or so. I'm fixing to try some sort of dairy product in a moment. Hands burning, why do we have so many peppers to feed these animals! DXEDIT: I want to let you people know, you helped me a lot. Baking soda all over my hands and wrist worked super and butter eased the pain under my thumbnail a little. Thanks!

One thing about experiencing how pepper juices get absorbed by the skin; one time is all it takes to not make the mistake again. http://www.stripers247.com/phpBB2/images/smilies/pepper.gif.pagespeed.ce.quCEruV0yq.gif

A Mexican-American told me that salt helps. I never tried it.

You could also try urinating on it. That works for jellyfish stings.

I know of a video of a chimp doing that because he ate something too spicy. Anyone want to see it?

You mean the monkey urinating in his mouth?

Ouch - under the nail really hurts. And the more you mess with it, the more it hurts.
 
Egg will stop the pain and remove jalapeno from skin. crack cold eggs in a bowl apply to affected area. I'm a Hispanic American from New Mexico have used this many times! because over here HOT CHILI is served with every meal.
