Similar story with me. I was at my grandma's house for the holidays and wanted to can a bunch of jalapenos. I'd slice them in half, rub the seeds/guts out with my thumb then slice them into rings and throw them in a jar to boil. Did several pounds... Night came and I couldn't sleep my hands were burning so bad. Touching the sheets or anything would shoot pain. I went and dug through her medicine cabinet and found some tylenol with codeine pills. Took a couple and managed to go to sleep but woke up in the morning and they were still burning. Was like that for 3 days or so.



I’ve had this from peeling roasted green chiles. My hands felt chill-hot and tingly for 2 days. It seems like abrasion cleans it off better than solvents or soap.


Try washing with milk if it ever happens again, should help.
