Hey, kids! Here's a safety tip: If you've had a few bites of raw jalapeño, do NOT wash your mouth out with Listerine afterwards. It's a painful combination!

I did something similar at WorldCon. Had the tinyest possible taste of mnemex's Amaretto -- the stuff he soaked the jalapenos in -- literally dipping the tip of a finger in and licking the finger. Five minutes later, it still hurt, so I took some bread. Gradually, my mouth settled down.

Then, I took a swallow of Mexican honey wine, and it woke everything up again. Yowch.
