Scotch Bonnet Peppers. Fingers. Eyes. Pain.

Think I'll listen to music and keep my eyes shut for a while.

I've grown them before and I know exactly what you went through. I'll never ever handle them again without wearing gloves. It was like having burning splints under my nails.

Since then I've switched to other varieties with less heat and more flavour.

Have a look at the Scoville Scale to see what heights you reached!

BTW if my memory serves me correctly I think milk is the best thing to treat it with.

Ha Ha,
I laugh because I have often done the same and you did well to type out even that many words. I'm not familiar with Scotch Bonnet Peppers though. Damn it, now you have me curious and I just know I am going to end up the same way. It never fails, I make a mistake somewhere with hot peppers, even with gloves.

I could never work in a bio-research lab.

From Wikipedia...

"......These peppers are used to flavour many different dishes and cuisines worldwide. Scotch Bonnet has a flavour distinct from its Habanero cousin. This gives Jerk dishes (pork/chicken) and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavour. Scotch Bonnets are especially used in Caymanian and Jamaican cooking, though they often show up in other Caribbean recipes. Eaten raw, these peppers are also known to cause dizziness, numbness of hands and cheeks, and severe heartburn."

I don't want those things anywhere around me!

At least now I know Caymanian is a word. Thanks, Rick!

I eat plenty of hot peppers but I wouldn't touch those darn things. They would work for spicing up a dish but that's about it.

About 4 years there was this one evening about 30 min after my wife changed the diaper of our youngest daughter that she started to scream and move her butt around a lot. My wife peeled back the diaper and her skin was red and blistered right off. I was a real painful mess. It was at that moment my wife remembered she had peeled and used jalapeño's to prepare dinner.

My wife and daugher laugh about it now, but boy did we all feel bad about it then.
