Mouth is on fire!!!

[ChicaLovesHerLocalGreengrocer]

Just bitten into dried chilli. Mouth is literally on fire and pulsating. what can I do???

Tell yourself you've just done something really silly?!

Does milk help?

drink some milk or have some yoghurt

Milk now

Try yoghurt or milk. HOld it in your mouth.

Why did you bite a chilli?!

Lemon juice or beer!!! or vinegar

ok, have been holding milk in my mouth, and the sensation has gone down a bit. but ow!!

The chilli was in my lentil stew. I thought I'd found them all, and fished them out, but one got away, and I was eating and reading mn at the same time, so not concentrating on what was going in.

thanks for advice!
