Ooohh... I sympathize.
Last summer I was working with chili in the kitchen on the annual Freshmen Trip. I wasn't warned how strong the chili was and wasn't even using gloves.
It started with me rubbing sweat off my forehead. That was not a good idea at all. My head started to smart. Knowing this was about to get painful. I desperately asked how the hell I got this chili off. The chefs being either stupid or very cruel told me to just go wash with soap. I can tell you that this didn't work at all. Instead I managed to just further distribute the chili all over my face, it got in my eyes and on my lips and all over my hands. At this point it was beyond funny I was in serious pain as by body was telling me that it was pretty sure my face was on fire. The rest of the day I went around with a fiery red face and stinging hands. Luckily there was a fully stocked bar, and after I got pretty sauced I stopped noticing it too much.
What was worse was that I just couldn't get the chili off my fingers and hands. I tried washing them in milk, different oils, I even tried pouring make up removers all over them. Didn't help. The next two days my hands were fucked. I think the worst point came when I had to go to the toilet and I somehow managed to transfer a bit of the chili on to my sphincter. Its a good thing that there was no-one in the next cubicles because I seriously screamed like I'd just had my arse set on fire.
I am afraid of chili now.
