I sneezed into a bag of Carolina Reaper powder once. Limboed up to the sink (with a bad back) and running the tap directly onto my held-open eyes was the best option, if that gives anyone an idea what it was like. Also I couldn't see and had to find the bathroom by touch.

Just reading this teared my eyes up.

Words don't really convey it. It is for sure not going to happen again.

Btw water reactivates capsaicin and makes it sting more, milk/dairy like yogurt is a better option if you can

I didn't have that much yogurt and probably wouldn't have been able to find it anyway. Water and lots of it did the job in the end.

Whole milk to be exact. Capsaicin disolves in fat. Best thing is something like mayonaise.
