Milk will actually work better...it has the added effect of coating the tastebuds.

Nightingale 0 #9 June 13, 2008 Crisco, butter, or sour cream. Capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers hot, is fat soluable. Water will make it worse, because it just distributes the capsaicin.

Lastchance 0 #10 June 13, 2008 Try a baking soda and water solution to try and nutralize it. Just a guess. I'm no doctor. I know that is does take away the itch of some things. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
