>>> One time back when I wore contacts, I made a batch of chili using some pretty hot peppers and when I went to bed and after numerous times of washing my hands cleaned my contacts and put them in their carrying case. And the next morning when I woke cleaned off my contacts, and it was like putting hot peppers in my eyes! I had another pair of untouched contacts, but when I cleaned them off to wear them again they were like hot peppers in my eyes, But I figured I had to tolerate it and it went away after a while.

> I doubt that. We have small local peppers that grow wild on this rock that are pretty hot. Some people say to wear gloves when handling them but that's for sissies. They're tiny little things and they are used to make chili peppa wata. As it goes, that's about all they're used for. Oddly enough, Hawaiian food is not typically spicy. That's fine with me. My friend from Texas sent me some dried chili tepin. I love that spicy blast of heat these tepins provide. These tepins are called the mother of all chili peppers. My guess is that the white man grew these pepper to mutate into the peppers we know today. Thanks, white man!
