1. Causes of the HarshnessWhen cooking at home, you often have to cut peppers, especially for those who like spicy food. This situation is more common. However, if you don't handle it properly when cutting it and touch it, you will feel a sharp pain in your hand. This is actually because the capsaicin contained in it has an effect on the surface of our skin, making us feel this slight tingling sensation. 2. Treatment methods1. Wipe with alcohol cotton: because capsaicin can be dissolved in some organic solvents, such as ethanol. So we can use some medical alcohol cotton to wipe them and let them dissolve in alcohol. Rinse off with cold water afterwards. This will reduce the amount of capsaicin on your hands and thus reduce the degree of spiciness. 2. Cleaning with vinegar: Because capsaicin is slightly alkaline, we can also use some vinegar to rub our hands. This will neutralize the acetic acid and the concentration will decrease. The pain level in our hands will also decrease. 3. Prevention methodsIf you want to cut peppers, it is recommended that you wear disposable gloves to cut them. This can effectively prevent the capsaicin in it from directly contacting our skin and causing us pain. Especially for some of the spicier varieties, it is best to take protective measures before cutting to avoid injury. |
