Milk. Any liquid dairy product should sooth the pain.

Would be better off using

1) Soap (probably concentrated dish washing liquid)

2) If that doesn't work (it always did for me), maybe try rubbing cooking oil into it before using the soap.

This remedy I have will work for fish smell as well as onions and pretty much anything else, use TOOTHPASTE!! YES, a small pea size amount, lightly wet, rub all over hands like you normally wash your hands with soap, rinse well, and all good! Trust me- you will thank me later-use this method for anything that is stinky!!

For next time, this is the answer.

Wear surgical gloves next time you mess with jalapenos or any other pepper like that.


I buy the mega boxes at Sam's. I use them all the time to fool with raw meats, seafood and peppers etc... They're cheap and convenient.

I use them when I eat boiled crawfish because of the contact lens experience. People made fun of me, at first. Now, I have to bring a whole box with me because when people see the gloves, they want a pair.

rub your hands with margarine. The fat will stop the burn.

My fiance did this last year, and we tried every remedy in the book. Then a doc at work told her that it's a chemical burn and though some remedies might ease the burn, only time would cure it. She slept with her hands in a bowl of milk and ice.
