What is there not to love about fresh homemade salsa? Nothing! It came out delicious. :9 I used heirloom tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, red onion, lemon, lime, and jalapeño. Muy delicioso!
Afterwards, as I was eating a white peach, I got a sudden urge to rub my right eye. Rub. Then, the BURNING PAIN!! I had a bit of jalapeño juice on my fingers and it transferred onto my eye lid and into my eye. I’ve never had my skin feel like it was burning, but I guess the skin around the eye is so delicate, it gets to the nerve quickly. I couldn’t even open my eye because when I tried, the pain worsened.
Of course, I went to the bathroom and washed my eye out. Cleaned my hands with soap and water first. After the pain subsided, I put lotion on my eye, and went back to life as usual.
So the lesson is, even if you think your hands are clean (I quickly washed a container out to put the salsa in), they’re not clean enough to rub your eyes with. The end.
