Thanks, I went through that with hot peppers once. Got some in my
eye another time. But the one I got taking that pee - back in my 20s
- I endured it a while thinking it would pass, but it didn't, and I
wound up lying in the bath tub for about half an hour with it. Maybe
what we need for certain foods - above and beyond the mere apron - is
the food suit - a plastic outfit with built-in goggles that stretches
over one's entire body, covering the hands and face and all bare skin,
yet thin enough to get that hands on feeling while dicing and slicing.
