A Lesson Learned...

After chopping a whole bunch of vegetables, I found myself confused as why my hand was burning and it was only one hand.  There wasn't anything obvious on my hand to show for it.  I hadn't even touched the oven or and the stove wasn't on.  It felt like acid was eating up my hand.  I kept washing my hands over and over, but the burning sensation kept intensifying.  Justin was even partially serious when he asked if I needed to go to the emergency.  After thinking about it more, we realized my hand was burning from chopping a fresh green chili!!!  Justin read online that the oils probably had gotten on my hand and soaking it in milk would help remove it.  So, I found myself soaking my hand in milk and it felt a lot better.  By the next morning there was no more burning!
