Exactly the same happened to me!!! Would have never associated it with chili if it if weren't for this post. I cut some chili yesterday night and 2 or 3 hours later the fingers of my left hand started burning. No doubt this feeling is more intense in the middle finger. I felt this for a long time during the night and today it's still there, but less intense

Soak the fingers that are burning into cold milk for 10-15 minutes and the burning will soon go away, i literally just did it because i just got put of the showerafter cutting up jalapenos and a different pepper today for culinary and my fingerd been burning like krazy all day.

Hi. I deseeded and dried a lot of jalapeno last night and late I started burning up on my fingers. It's been doing it all day and I was concerned as well. Not anymore!

I cut several peppers yesterday (3 habaneros, one chili, 2 serranos) but I didn't make any connection between that and just today, getting this burning feeling in only my right fingers, only when I'm holding or carrying something. All day I've been getting this. Never had it before, just today, many times, throughout the day. (Including right now while I type this)

I have both hands feel like they are burning. I chopped two jalapeño and put them in my sauce. The burning feeling went away until I got out of the shower and tried to go to sleep and my finger are hot. I am hoping it is the shower that open up my pours and the jalapeño juice made them hot.

Thank you all so much for this thread. I too chopped up jalapenos for pico last night. I thought I might have burned myself while cooking dinner. But tonight, after washing dishes, they were on fire again. I thought something was wrong with me. So glad to find this out. I've chopped jalapenos before and never had burning like this before. They must have been hot little suckers!!!

Hahaha I love the Internet. Was scared I had some crazy disease turns out I was just chopping up chilis.

Unbelievable I am frantically googling burning fingertips as my left hand is on fire and too realise that I was chopping cayenne chillis earlier (hours ago) AND have just had a shower! Would never have put the 2 together and thought I must be having some kind of terrible brain or nerve problem. Thank you to the person who replied about the chillis!

So funny! I searched this because of one hot fingertip. I opened a can of hot Chile's, poured them in a bowl and just one finger helped the last pepper out of the can!!
