OMG I'm dying of chilli poisoning!!

[billyskank]

I cooked a curry using these little chillis that my bengali aunt gave me. I should have known better, and way overestimated the amount I need. My mouth is on fire, and nothing seems to alleviate it!

1. chillli

[joneschick]

2. try some nice plain yoghurt. eom

[billyskank]

4. Have no yoghurt. Milk helps a little, I find

Water just makes it worse! x(

[GoneOffShore]

7. Sugar helps

Try a coke, but one with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.

3. try eating a piece of bread

followed by an iced cold beer

[billyskank]

6. A traditional english night out!

Lager, lager, curry, lager, lager, kebab, fight.

But, I don't drink. :hi:

[havocmom]

10. Add four more lagers and it's an Aussie night out

from what I hear. ;)

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Water, bread or rice, citrus juice, milk. Repeat.

The old taste buds will calm down eventually. I know from personal experience that being a fire-breathing dragon isn't a glamorous as it sounds. Don't be surprised if everything tastes weird for a few days.

I wish I had a Bengali aunt!

9. She's cool

Food is her favourite, second favourite and third favourite subjects. :)

8. Also try lots and lots of butter

Spread it on bread and eat. If the chilies don't make you sick all these homemade cures will. ;)

[billyskank]

11. You're not kidding!

There's no way I can try all of these things! ;)

The fire seems to have died down a bit now. The rest of the curry is very nice. Must have got a cluster of them in that one mouthful. Just like buses, they all come at once!

12. Milk, butter, any dairy product

Just hold it in your mouth for a while.

But if you ain't cryin' it ain't hot enough!

Khash.

[billyskank]

13. I fear that I'll be crying tomorrow

:hurts:

[Maestro]

14. Well in that case start popping Metamucil pills.

;)

[Dukkha]

15. candle wax supposedly works

as seem in episode 3F24 El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (aka The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)

[billyskank]

16. Sadly I experienced no hallucinations

and I certainly did not meet my spirit guide. The chilli was good but perhaps it wasn't *that* good. ;)

17. Onion and plain yoghurt

We are always served plain super hot green chillis with our meals on the side dish, so that we can add to the low level of spice in normal meals. Along with this we are served sliced raw onions and plain yoghurt, in case we overdo the hotness. (I never have!!)

However, nothing will stop the outcome in case the chilli acts on you - a burning bottom!! :-)

;)

[Kali]

19. mmmm sounds good!

yogurt, lime, cold beer - or just keep eating!

[billyskank]

20. I did. I'm stuffed!

:)

[BikeWriter]

22. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! At least you enjoyed it!

[billyskank]

25. I can feel it slowly dissolving my stomach lining

:)

[BikeWriter]

26. As long as you're smiling it is good. :-)

[BikeWriter]

21. Aww shit, Pard! Butter and bread might douse the fire!

[Skittles]

23. "I ate some bad chili"

always my standard line to guys pestering me

[billyskank]

24. ...

:D

[BikeWriter]

27. LOL! Then you kick their asses?

[Skittles]

30. aw I never had to BW, I had many ways to get rid of guys

like scratching my crotch and going DAMN, THE DOC SAID THIS RASH WOULD GO AWAY IN A FEW DAYS BUT I'VE BEEN TAKING THOSE DAMN PILLS FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW

[BikeWriter]

31. Whoaaaa. I see what you mean... Hey, I have something to do...

I'll get back with you later.

[Skittles]

32. well it wasn't TRUE

but it DID THE TRICK :D

[BikeWriter]

33. Oh, I believe you, Dear! :-)

[Redstone]

28. Try a teaspoon of Tabasco.

29. I've done that before

But I've found these things mellow considerably after sitting in the fridge for a day or two. I always add more chilis than tastes good when you sample dish while cooking it. But they calm down after time and add a nice warmth.

[tibbir]

34. I've heard milk helps

But I usually try to eat some kind of bread.
