So I've been making my own salsa lately. Just chopping the ingredients rather than pay $6 for a plastic jar of it that's already 1-2 weeks old. It works great except one key problem.
Every time I chop jalapenos or other hot peppers...I forget about it 40 minutes later or so and end up touching my dick. This leads a burning sensation that can't really be washed off right away -- so you just have to kind of ride it out.
Now obviously I wash my hands before or after handling food. But the hot oils that are in peppers don't easily wash off. And you tend to soap down before handling food more than after. However, even when you remember to soap the shit out of your hands...it doesn't always work! It just lowers the level of burning you experience. I'm starting to think that the only way I can keep making my own salsa, is by scrubbing with vinegar after handling the peppers at all.
Otherwise, as good and cost effective as making you own Pico De Gallo is...its not worth all the burning dick.
