What should I do if my hands feel hot when cutting green peppers?

1. Wash your hands with a small amount of vinegar.

This is because vinegar is acidic and can neutralize capsaicin. It's also a good idea to wash your hands with hot water, because capsaicin evaporates irritatingly at high temperatures, and while it's not as effective as alcohol and vinegar, it's more effective than cold water.

In fact, when cutting peppers, you can press the peppers with your fingertips instead of pinching the peppers with your nails. This way, your hands will not be easily burned.

2. Wet your hands with soap.

In addition, if you feel your hands are irritated after cutting the peppers, immediately put your hands with soap and scrub them vigorously for 5 minutes to greatly relieve the symptoms. Because capsaicin easily adheres to around pores and is soluble in alkaline solutions, soap can solve the problem.

3. Apply with toothpaste.

Use white toothpaste to smear all the fingers of both hands.
