What to do when you feel your hands are hot after cutting the pepper

Pepper as a kind of food is very good. For some people, without pepper, they can't eat rice. But it has one drawback, I believe that everyone who has cooked and cut chillies will have this feeling, that is, after cutting chillies, his hands will be burned. So why does it feel that way?

Why does pepper taste hot? That's mainly because capsaicin is contained in Capsicum. When capsaicin is applied to the skin, it will expand blood vessels, cause the skin to become red and hot, and stimulate pain nerves. Then we will feel the burning sensation.

In order to avoid the hot pepper pain, you have to cut off from the source. So we can put on gloves to cut the pepper so that capsaicin won't get on our hands.

What should we do if we have already got it? First of all, we have to wash the pepper with water after cutting. I'm not sure that we can wash it with detergent for one to two minutes, and then clean the capsaicin on our hands. But sometimes there will be pain after cleaning many times. Then we can use other substances for cleaning. What is the specific use?

Method one can use vinegar to wash the red and swollen parts, because acid vinegar can neutralize capsaicin and reduce pain. Method 2, if there is no vinegar, you can use cauliflower and directly rub the painful part with the tea leaves. Method 3 can also apply toothpaste. After using these methods, the pain will be greatly reduced. However, it should be remembered that the hands that have just cut the pepper should not touch other parts of the body, especially the eyes, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable.
