Hi,About one week ago I started having some sinus issues, and my problem was with my eyes: they ached so bad!. I started looking on the internet for cures and came upon this site, so I tried it. I have to warn people: do not EVER put pepper in your eyes. Oh my God it hurts. It was 3 AM and I was running around the house screaming. I hit our screen door and ran right through it and fell down our front stairs. I was still screaming. I didn't know where I was and all I could do was run like somebody who is on fire. I hit my neighbour's tree headfirst and was knocked unconscious, thankyou God because I couldn't feel the horrible burning any more. It was like a hundred flaming needles in my eyes. Now I am OK but it still hurts when I look at bright lights and when I shake my head "no".
My sinuses are better now, though.

Wow I've been using Cayenne forever, too stop bleeding and more, an old Indian rememdy. Coagulated my mom's bleeding in the hospital once, when the head nurse could not stop it, and colds well infection Cayenne is the best. But lord tell me who in the world would think to put any type of pepper in their eyes. This one was classic! Wow!Replied By Chelsea (Greenville, Sc Usa) on 01/06/2010
The remedy never said to put it in your eyes. Wow. Common sense should have taken over.Replied By Jula (Hesperia, Ca, Us) on 03/04/2010
i've had a really bad sore throat for 4 days now and i'm looking forward to getting results from what i've read. But i must say, the pepper in the eyes was so classic. that's a good laugh for sure. i'm going to pass this on to my friends just so they can have a good laugh about this too, but of course i want them to learn the benifets of the chili too. thanks.Replied By Hh (San Diego, Ca) on 04/10/2010
If you ever get anything spicy in your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with milk. Dumbie me, I rubbed my eyes one time after chopping jalepeno peppers and not properly washing my hands. The burning was terrible but the milk worked instantly. Also works if you eat something too spicy.Replied By Kurt (Ames, Ia) on 09/03/2011
Wow. Laying in bed after first cayenne gargle starting to feel slightly better. I think this post just made my day. I was literally laughing out loud. Woke my roommates up. There are some people in this world huh? I never post on threads but I felt that in this case it was necessary.
