Remedy to Stop the Burning of the Eye

You will be in a lot of pain during this time and are likely unable to see much as your other eye will be tearing too, but it is important that you carry out this procedure as soon as you realize you have pepper juice in your eye. What you need to do is take a tot glass and put milk in it, just about half of what the glass can contain. Go to the bathroom basin and put your head down as though you are looking into the basin.


Open your eye and put the tot glass over your eye, try your hardest to keep your eye open as it is very difficult to do so in a situation like this. Flush the eye with milk a few times and quickly flutter your eyelids until it starts feeling better.

The reason you should use milk instead of water is because most pepper juices contain oil.


The milk will flush the oil out while water will simply just rinse off and produce no positive results. Repeat the process until you can see properly and feel your eye isn’t burning as much as it was before. If the problem persists for a long period of time you should contact your health care provider, but the milk should do the trick!
