So K made curry last night, and I helped out by chopping the veggies, and I chopped an onion and single-clove garlic and a green chili and then washed my hands and sat down in front of the TV, at which point my nose was slightly runny and I wiped it with the back of my hand and OH MY GOD IT BURNS.
Speaking purely hypothetically, I may also, some two or three ineffective hand-scrubbings later, have gone to the bathroom.
The chili was great, by the way, thanks for asking.
