Capsaicin + Eyeballs = ?

If you answered "PAIN", you're right!

Having your eyes have a Scoville rating is no fun at all.

Reminds me of a certain wasabi incident...

It is exactly like a certain wasabi incident. Except I didn't accidentally rub the wasabi into my eyes. (And a good thing, too: apparently allyl isothiocyanate is even worse than capsaicin.)

On the other hand, I suspect I'm now pretty much immune to any hot sauce rated less than fifty thousand Scovilles.
