I was cutting hot peppers and now my hand is burning. Any tips to make it stop?

I didn't think they were that hot until an hour after handling them.

Milk may help as it helps the mouth after eating hot peppers.

@Bowenw milk helped a little. I scrubbed my hand with Dawn and a fingernail brush. That pretty much took it away.

pH range below 7 (4.65 to 6.17 pH)

Tap water has a Ph of 6.8 - 7.6

Just run tap water over your hands for 10 minutes
