That happened to me. I sliced up a couple of Jalapenos for DH and washed my hands twice afterward. Later that night...like eight hours later...I washed my hands one more time and tried to take out my contacts. I screamed like a banshee and both eyes immediately started streaming and swelled shut. I couldn't pry them open far enough to get my contacts out either, so the burning just kept going and going and going...

That was the one and only time DH ever took my contacts out for me. Poke me in the eye, jab me with your finger...I don't care. Just get these flamin pieces of plastic out of my eyes!
