I've done a similar thing with chile peppers - rub my eye or my nose and burn for a few hours. But the stupidest thing I ever did in the kitchen was open the oven and reach in for the cast iron pan with cornbread in it, without an oven mitt. I practically burned through my palm. Took a long time to heal!

WARM, MOIST COMPRESSES - ALWAYS - FOR EYE INJURIES. It increases blood-flow to the affected area which is what heals. (It feels good, too.)

Now you know a little of what it's like, to get sprayed with pepper spray.

Ok. Ouch! I haven't done this, but I just googled this and found a gardening forum discussion on this. They recommend spraying 100% Aloe Vera on a tissue and then rubbing on eye area. Two people on there said it worked for them. They also recommended after slicing the peppers, to put vegetable oil on hands and then dish soap and wash. Then wash hands with vinegar. Hope it helps. My personal thought is...would a piece of bread soaked in cold milk and then placed on your eye as you rest help? Just a thought. They say they are helpful to eat when you burn your mouth. I can't see that it would hurt anything. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Oh yeah! My personal self inflicted injury was about 3 weeks ago. I used the wrong contact solution! I thought I had the everyday one, but I grabbed the one (with the bright red top to alert you) that was for bi-weekly cleaning and required a special case that neutralizes the solution. Wrong case + wrong solution = screaming woman in the morning when she tries to put in the contact! Boy did I make my hubby wake up fast and come running! It was red and bloodshot for nearly 3 days! I cannot believe I was so tired I didn't notice the red cap! I thought I had double checked and remember reassuring myself I had the right one. Augh.

Rinse for 20 minutes under running water. Paramedics would do this.

Fill your bathroom sink with cold, clean water and drop your entire face in it. Or take a cool shower with the head pointing gently into your eyes. For those with painful corneal edima ( scratches), get muro 128 eye drops (over the counter) and a few drops will help. It stings for a minute or 2 but it helps.

Just don't touch your, er uhm, thing until you wash your hands.
Some times washing your hands before don't help with those devil chillis - I've done the above - much pain and a bit of swelling - was a lil weird have the nether regions on fire.
