tl;dr if you cut hot peppers, make sure you wash your hands MUCH LONGER than 15 seconds.

Found out the hard way after I cut a bunch of hot yellow peppers. Proceeded to wash my hands with soap for maybe 15 seconds, and then went to the bathroom.

Wiped. And about maybe a minute after getting out of the bathroom, the fire set in.

Feels like I have a soldering iron pre-warming against my asshole.

Live and learn they say!

Slightly off topic, but advice from plumber to not block the drain.

Tear your TP square by square. You can stack up as many squares as you want, just don't flush long strands of heavy-duty TP.

Alternately you can check your TP by putting a strand in the bowl and stirring with OP's bare hand. If the TP breaks up you can basically use it however you like. If it does not break up use the stacked squares method.

Then wash OP's hand thoroughly with hot soapy water for 60 seconds before letting him in the kitchen.
