1, immediately put soap on your hands and rub them hard for 5 minutes to greatly relieve the symptoms. Because capsaicin is easy to attach around pores and it is soluble in alkaline solution, soap can solve the problem.

Why is it difficult to cut peppers?

The pungent substance in pepper is capsaicin, which is collectively called capsaicin. When cutting peppers, capsaicin sticks to the skin, which will dilate the capillaries, lead to redness and fever of the skin, and accelerate the local metabolic rate.

At the same time, it will also stimulate the pain nerve, which is why we usually feel burning our hands. It is generally believed that this is caused by the chemical transformation of nerve endings of skin by capsaicin.
