Cleaned out some old expired Hot Sauces, 12 hours later and my hands are burning
14 years ago I amassed a small horde of Hot Sauces as I traveled for work. After a move they got packed up never to be seen until this week when I found them in a box in storage. My wife insists on recycling everything so at lunch time this afternoon I began the process of dumping and washing out these bottles. The mad dog and a few others got on my hands, and started to ‘burn’ under my ring at around 3 hours. 12 hours in and 12 vigorous hand scrubbings: both hands are feeling the burning effect all over. I’m now washing with milk and vinegar to try and break down the capsaicin, and taking the precaution of wearing latex gloves to the restroom.
