The one thing that I found that worked was an ice cube on the tongue. That took away most of the burn, but only as long as the ice cube lasted. I had to suck on ice cubes for about 4 hours. I know that water is supposed to be bad (spreads the capsaicin), but the ice worked well for me.
I know other people that swear by milk. Perhaps it's just a matter of personal chemistry or...  |
You need to build up your tolerance to be able to tackle habaneros. This could take months of eating hot chillies
every day.
You could try telling your body that you are not dying and mentally " drop into" the pain and enjoy it. Just tell your head that pain is fun!!
