Deeply Rooted
I can handle peppers bare handed, but I will never do it again. About a month ago I was making salsa. Every year I grind up my excess jalapenos and put in the freezer in a block shape. So when I make salsa I just take a knife and scrape the ice block and shave jalapenos in there to taste.
Later after cooking supper I took my first bite of taco and holy moley, my face and lips were set afire. It wasn't the salsa, it was the jalapeno oils on my fingers. For days when I would lick my fingers, there was subtle warmth of jalapenos. Funny now, but I was really suffering for 3 or 4 hours. My face and lips were swollen and really red.
