Lessons from the school of hard knocks

Never go to the toilet after handling raw chillies

It's not clever - but it sure is big after !!!

[dubluke]

I've heard that when this happens, a quick dip into a pot of yogurt solves the problem.

although you then have a new problem of ruined yogurt...

[KalamityKel]

For some it may not be ruined... perhaps?

[TheArtfulDogger]

kel !

[SteveT]

I have always admired the thrift ethic in a woman Kel:))

lol...

Live yoghurt is good for thrush too.

[dubluke]

jesus, didn't realise there were so many alternative uses for yogurt, what's next - crunch corner cures leprosy?

[DJKillaQueen]

Oh it's a real tonic...as useful around the home as vinegar....and what's more, just a spoonful of live youghurt and a pint of whole milk is all you need to make more of the stuff yourself.

"Dear Marje, my best friend swears she got pregnant using a pot of yogurt to treat thrush. Pleeze tell her this is rubbish."

On a similar note, take your contact lenses out before you cook with chillies. Taking them out afterwards, even several hours and hand-washes later, risks being something less than enjoyable.

Unless you swing that way of course. Takes all sorts.

To quote 'Sperm Whale' Whalen from Joseph Wambaugh's The Choirboys after a woman complains her daughter must have become pregnant after swimming in the public pool 'Musta been awful hard water, lady'.

Similarly, try to avoid watching reruns of Baywatch after preparing Mexican food.

Ah Brendan, you expressed it so much more delicately than I ever could.
