I just had to share this with.. others.

I tried acetone, alcohol, soap, water, etc.. and didn't feel like pouring all the milk I was going to use for breakfast all over my hands in the name of a painless curry cooking session. I'm not sure why, but while trying to think of how I could get just a little milk to go quite a long way, I thought of mud, and why not with salt?

So I mounded up a little pile of salt in my hand and about a shots worth of milk to top it off and mm was it tasty! I didn't think it would be! (so I didn't actually taste it). but geeze.. rubbing that stuff in my hands left them feeling oh so soft, too.. and that burnin's burnt out

oh yeah! It kicks a stainless steel spoon where a spoon doesn't sparkle..


Anyone else have any odd things they'd like to share?

Greased Lightnin' and GoJo with pumice and citrus usually do it for me.
Not familiar with kitchen remedies I'm afraid.
So was it good?

I don't understand why your hands were burning from chili oil? You don't have taste buds on your hands, after all...

I must have missed something...

Capsaicin is an irritant, go buy a habanero and split it open and rub it on your skin. It will irritate any tissue it comes into contact with... I've cut a habanero in a small puddle of water and accidentally got some of that water on my forearm, my skin was quite red and had a strong burning sting for a while.

You can put chili pepper in bird seed because birds are unaffected by capsaicin, but the squirrels that eat the seed will be in for a shock.

Most muscle salves like Tiger Balm contain capsein. It's what makes the skin and muscle warm.

Just wondering, Why on earth would you do that!?! An effort to rid your yard of squirrels?

To stop squirrels from eating all the bird seed? Some people put chili pepper flakes in their garden to deter animals (asides from birds and insects) from mowing down on their veggies.

Yep, capsaicin is only an irritant to mammals. Pretty cool fact I thinks!
