Soak in cold milk...

Rub your eyes....you'll forget all about your hands.

Try rubbing your hands with cornstarch to absorb the oils.
Mmmmm, homemade salsa.

From one Oregonian to another..I copied this from some site.. You might try..

I'm sure this tip has been addressed but had to share mine. Saturday like a dummy I was making fresh salsa, using jalopenos, for canning, and I failed to put on gloves. My hands started burning like crazy, of course. I tried milk, dish detergent, nothing worked and I didn't want to stick my hands in bleach as has been suggested. Then I thought about how my dog got sprayed by a skunk and I used tomato juice which helped. So, I took an over ripe tomatoe I had, sliced it in half and rubbed those halves all over my hands and let the juice and tomato stay on my hands for a couple of minutes then I washed it off and my hands had quit burning! No harsh chemicals. Yesterday I made more salsa, but I put on my gloves!

Ooooooohhhh man ,, My wife did the same thing while back,, nothing helped said may as well have been acid..

I'd go for milk and vodka mixed on the hands, and a couple of shots of the vodka orally.

Reasoning - the milk oils will absorb and coat, and the vodka will strip oils. Unno what the oral vodka will do....

Mix a paste of milk and baking soda. rub that on yer hands, should clear it right up.

I never have a problem with my hands burning.
It's always when my nose itches or I have to pee.

My wife complains when I pee all over the toilet and the walls so...............
the other pain takes away from my nose and eyes burning.
Makes me sneeze also.

That hot stuff goes right through latex gloves.
Industrial hand cleaner work decently.

You do know that oil is added to pepper sauce to increase the "hot level" of the pepper sauce ?

Washing your hands in alcohol will help just as chasing an extremely hot pepper with a shot of whiskey, tequila , rum or vodka will stop mouth burn.
