Important Safety Tip Can't Post
OK campers, unless you really, really, like the feeling of a red-hot poker applied directly to the surface of your eyeball, wash, rinse, wash, rinse, and consider washing and rinsing your hands a third time, especially your fingertips, if you have been cutting chiles for a recipe, and then subsequently decide to take your contact lenses out, as a simple, quick rinse seems to not quite cut it.

Also, if you have neglected to do the intense scrubbing of the hands and experience said sensation on your eyeball, just go ahead and throw those contact lenses away, because the next morning, despite a night of soaking, will have really absorbed the stuff that makes chile's hot, and will then apply that substance directly to the entire surface of your eyeball, and will be even more painful than the boneheade dmove of the night before. Your eye will also reflexively clamp shut from the pain, making it almost impossible to remove the offending lens. Doing the one-legged, one-eye scrunched pain dance will not help, unfortunately. You will be rewarded with a really cool look, however, as one eye will be nice and white, and the other crazy-red bloodshoot, which makes one look just a tad unbalanced. 5 minutes of dousing your eye in cool water while repeating the mantra, "ow, fuck, ow, fuck, ow" dampens the burning sensation enough to allow one to go on with their day.

Another tip is never pick your nose, scratch your you know what, as well as your arm pits.

Since it wasn't the worst pain ever felt in my life (like leg cramps), I decided that would be over kill.

Reminds me of the time I hurt my back playing football as a kid. My dad was rubbing some kind of hot ointment on it for me, then went to the bathroom without washing his hands first. Not a good idea, we will just leave it at that.
