Pepper to the Eyes (gallery)


I was awoken at 5am by stings of expletives yelled by someone going through intense pain. The shower came on and they continued to yell so I got up to find out what was going on. One of my house mates had put some extremely hot, hot sauce on his tongue. As it burned he touched, then rubbed his eyes causing his face to explode in pain. It took almost an hour in the shower along with calls to poison control as well as to a nurse mother before the pain was bearable. Things used in attempt to neutralize the pain were: water, whipping cream, yogurt, tomato sauce, baking powder and finally ice. Most of these helped but only very temporarily. This was all happening from 5 to 6am.
