The Habanero Experiment

[thorington]

Should've tried lidocaine

isn't baking soda an amphoteric compound? being only basic when mixed with water?

You don't know what pain is...

I honestly dont think anything will work because the chemical that makes peppers hot is oil based. Skin can absorb oil so by the time you're burning, the oil is already inside your skin the same way as your skin would absorb skin cream. So my theory is that nothing will work....

PS. You're very pretty and its so cute that you're using yourself in an experiment :)

Milk should have done the trick since it neutralizes capsaicin. Nice experiment though, but you sure are brave :o)
