What should I do if the peppers are irritating to my eyes?

Health care must start from our daily life. If we don’t start actively maintaining health care in our daily life, then our body will not be in a particularly good health state. If you don't pay attention to many small things in life, they can cause great harm to your body, such as accidentally getting chili pepper into your eyes. So what should you do if your eyes are irritated by the pepper? Let us introduce it in detail below.

The substance that produces the spicy taste in chili peppers is a type of capsaicin, which is collectively called capsaicin. When cutting peppers, capsaicin sticks to the skin, causing the capillaries to dilate, resulting in redness and heat of the skin, and accelerating the local metabolic rate. At the same time, it will stimulate the pain nerves, which is why we usually feel burning hands. It is generally believed that this is caused by capsaicin causing chemical changes in the nerve endings of the skin.

The spiciness of chili peppers can be very uncomfortable to the eyes, and if it is very spicy for a long time it can cause great damage to the eyes, so it needs to be treated in time. When your eyes are stung by spicy peppers, you first need to rinse them with tap water. This is the simplest method. Rinsing several times can relieve the discomfort in your eyes. The second method is to run to a vent and open your eyes or fan your eyes with a fan when the pepper burns your eyes. This method is also very good. You can also choose to use eye drops to relieve the pain, but never rub your eyes with your hands.

Chili peppers produce capsaicin, which is extremely painful if it gets into your eyes. If chili peppers get into your eyes, you must immediately rinse them with clean water, or use a mixture of vinegar and clean water to quickly eliminate the effects of the chili peppers. You can also apply ice to your eyes to relieve the burning sensation caused by the chili peppers. When cutting peppers while cooking, try to hold the peppers with the tips of your fingers instead of pinching them with your fingernails. This will prevent the juice of the peppers from getting on your skin. Wash your hands promptly with salt water after handling the peppers. Or wear disposable gloves when cutting peppers.

If you follow the method described above, you can solve the problem of what to do if your eyes are irritated by peppers. In normal times, we must pay attention to these small details in life. Prevent these small details from causing greater harm to the body. If these minor injuries are not controlled in time, they may lead to more serious diseases.
