I’ve eaten nearly exclusively spicy food for many years and have only been eye spiced once. I generally don’t even wash my hands after, and often touch my face and eyes while cooking because of my hair. It almost feels like a fairy tale to me, the idea of getting eye spiced. Are people irritating their eyes with peppers spicier than serrano, arbol, and pequin peppers or are my eyes just impervious?
But I would like some advice for an ongoing issue, I still can’t figure out how to prevent my home from filling with painfully spicy air when I stir fry. Any advice on that front?
You and I are on two different ends of this spectrum cause I also eat almost exclusively spicy food, but never get bothered by anything airborne. Anytime I handle something fresh my fingies are all up inside those guts, but a lot of what I deal with is dried so that's really only jalapenos and serrano.
Edit: habaneros are usually fresh too, but they usually go in a blender like the dried dudes.
That’s hilarious! I usually eat the seeds or gut the peppers halfhazardly with a couple of knife sweeps through the flesh. I guess my hands only get a small coating by comparison.
But what are you cooking on? I’m usually on a cast iron with olive/canola oil with temp anywhere from medium to high
Cast iron with olive, avocado or coconut oil. If your hood fan isn't helping you, I guess respirator?
A rip roaring hot wok or the exact same, and neither are ever covered. Only thing I ever cook covered is rice usually.
My only remaining guess is that our hood might just need to get a stronger motor. If it isn’t the pan, oil, or spices, it has to be something external!
No hood either, yet. In the middle of a kitchen renovation, and it's next on the list.
I’m genuinely baffled. I’ll stop molesting you with questions now, and begin experimenting with more or less oil.
Always happy to talk about cooking.
I have the same issue. Fried some tofu a few days ago with a ghost pepper coating, and wow – I had the evacuate the kitchen for half an hour!
just impervious; hood fan.
Oh jeez, our federation is borked. It took hours to get this notification. But yeah, at this point, upping the power on our motor seems to be the only immediately apparent longterm feasible option
Yeah, federation is a trip. Time zones probably influence it? I wasn't kidding about the respirator, btw. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6682244/
Before I read any further, I’d just like to point out my supreme confusion at how a respirator might help in this situation. I first imagined a patient in an urgent care being prescribed a respirator to treat their nightmarish groin pain.
Edit: by god, they must have been screaming from the speculum. I nearly audibly screamed as I read through this. What fresh, undeserved horror this person lived through.
My point is peppers are used in pepper spray. Respirator because you may be especially sensitive. People actually die from reaction to capsaicin.
Oh, I’ve understood that for ages. Back when India was trading the record for hottest pepper, you’d find dozens of videos of folks eating them. Some died from aspiration. Others from swelling in the gut. I take it seriously.
Excellent! Carry on!
