      IMO, drinking water doesn't help as it just acts as a medium for the chemicals.

      Eat something that is a base that will neutralize the acid:
      milk
      bread
      ice cream
      sour cream
      rice
      peanuts or peanut butter

      Chocolate is the best food to eat to cut the burning sensation as it covers the nerve endings that determine spicyness.

Tips & Warnings

  • When attemping to eat a jalapeno, put a dollop of sour cream on it to help cut down on some of the hotness.

  • Rmember, what goes into your mouth has to come out the other end. It's a good deterrent from doing crazy things like eating hot peppers. :)
