Last Sunday I made some chili dogs and may have gone a little over board while seasoning the chili. It was just a bit of smokes chili powder and a few angry looking mystery powders (I lost the labels).
It had quite a nice bit of kick to it, and I didn't quite stir some of it in as well as I could have.
Well.... The by the next morning she was complaining that her lips felt chapped. By that night night there was some swelling. And.... they've been getting a bit worse over the week.
Today she finally went to see a doctor and they confirmed it was indeed chemical burns most likely from capsicum.
She had four separate nurses tell her not to allow me to season any food ever again for everyones safety.
All I know for sure is that was some damn tasty chili. (Although fairly unpleasant the next day)
LOL - great way to get outta cooking for the rest of your life, what a deal! Hope she's doing better now though.
