my daughter had to cut up around 20 jalapenos about 8 hours ago....had no idea she was about to get jalapeno skin burn....she called driving home from Lake Travis in tears cause her fingertips were burning so bad.....it is now past midnight...she just fell asleep but still in pain...called ER they said it should stop burning in 4 to 6 hours....we tried all the home remedies we could find on the internet.....nothing much worked.....anybody have any remedies for this?.....I highly doubt it will ever happen again...I think she learned something today about jalaps!!!!.....

Have your daughter dip your hands in a bowl of milk. Trust the Valley guy on this one.

It's the same way you treat the burning sensation in your mouth after eating a jalapeno, actually. Most people go for water, when the REAL answer is milk.

You can also soak hands in warm salt water. Lots of salt, faster it works!
