CHILLI BURNS ON THE SKIN
Could someone please advise how to get rid of the stinging sensation on the skin after chopping chillies with the bare hands.
I'm not comfortable wearing rubber gloves, so I have this problem every time I need to prepare fresh chillies.
Any suggestion would be welcome, thankyou

Hi! Alison. You could try dipping you fingers / hands in oil before you handle chilli's then just wash / rub oil off.

Hold chillies by their stalk and chop with scissors. That way, you never actually touch the flesh.
I hear that rubbing lemon juice works.
Some people are obviously more sensitive to chillies, just like onions!
