Kitchen Note

When chopping jalapeno peppers, do not touch your nose. Even if you wash your hands, you will end up touching other parts of your body and the next 24 hours will be spent in varying degrees of discomfort.

I've heard.

The feeling in one's nose after eating is very different from the feeling in one's nose after raw jalapeno contact. But OK.

Usually I'm fine, I must have gotten distracted this time, that's all.

Well, I meant after eating a dinner which I prepared myself, including the cutting of thai chilis. :D That is, I cut chilis with my hand, ate dinner, and then had the sensation in the nose. Not quite as potent as just after cutting them, but still pretty strong.
