Sounds like it bees messy.

My wife has had problems with cleaning poblano peppers recently. Weak pepper, but the chemical is the same. to her credit, she was smart enough to ware latex gloves to take her contacts out. I have crushed dried habaneros in my hand as I have with other peppers. Had to shower with my hand outside of the warm water because it burned if I didn't for the next three days. I hold the things down and cut them through the tines of a fork these days.

One bee. Ha Ha. I laugh in your face. When I was a kid, I stepped on a beehive while my family was visiting my Dad's aunt.

Sometimes washing your hands isn't enough. I do my absolute best now to hold chiles with a fork when I'm cutting them up.

The first "incident of this type" that happened to me was in high school, when I put Atomic Balm on a pulled groin muscle. With chiles you burn for only six minutes, with AB it was hours.

They make arthritis medicine out of that stuff. It's heat is supposed to dull pain. I think that's because when your skin is on fire you forget about everything else.

Well, when I was a kid, I stepped on THREE beehives,a dead frog and a lit cigarette butt simultaneously at a cousin's mother in-law's stepchild's brother's house, while blowing a macaroni out of my nose! nnyah

I have never stepped on bees, inadvertently consumed a bee, nor a had one fly up my unmentionables.

I just thought one looked soooo soft and fuzzy and so marvelously tame and not flying away at all that, wanting to see just how soft and fuzzy he was, I reached out and petted him with my index finger.

The ensuing screams brought mamas out of their homes from a block away.

I had no idea bees did that.

I had a bee fly down my t-shirt once while cycling really fast down a hill on holiday (when I was about 14 years old) . As fast as I was going, it didn't compare to how fast I managed to stop and get the t-shirt off while jumping up and down and screaming in a manner that could only be described as "like a girl".

I rescued a somewhat torpid bumble bee from my garden path by putting it on the grass. Unbeknowns to me it crawled into my shoe that was lying around and stung me on the big toe when I tried to put the shoe on. That's gratitude for you.

Bee misadventures...

When still very young, I jumped into my parents' car to get away from a bumble-bee (I was just sure it was out to get me) and slammed the door... on my finger.

While climbing up the side of an old shed out by the barn, I inadvertently stuck my hands in the middle of a large wasp nest that was hanging on the back of one of the boards. Got stung five times... on each hand.

Once, while I was walking across an open field, a hornet flew into my face and got stuck behind the lens of my eyeglasses. The hornet stung me on the eyelid (and I broke my glasses when I whipped them off). Couldn't see out of that eye for a few days...
