Oh, here is another one. This again was about 7 years ago when I am thinking I am getting the hang of dehydrating and grinding habaneros. I was grinding, being carefull to make sure I had a gas mask on when it hit me. The serious burning sensation in one of my eyes. I knew right away that I got some habanero powder in my eye. Well, on the way to the kitchen to wash my eye out, my other eye decided to get some powder in it as well. Now I am blind and the only one at the house (the wife was out at the time). I washed my eyes with water,..nothing. I felt my way to the fridge and got a gallon of milk. The milk counteracts the capsaicin right? Sure it does! So I grab the 50 degree gallon of milk and start rinsing my eyes with milk. By the way, not a good idea either...it is extremely cold on the face. Finally after about an hour I could open my eyes again. A few days later I developed an infection in my one eyelid. I had to go to the eye doctor. When I told her the story of the milk, she honestly said that in the 20 years of her practice, this is the first time she had ever heard of someone using milk in their eyes to wash them out, I believed her.
