Itchy & buffy eyes

This many sound crazy but for the last couple of days. I have experience some thing weird every time I eat Chile my hands stay in fire and it not like I’m chopped 100 of them. The small amount causes it to stay in my hand and every time I touch any place in my body it burns. I’m Hispanic so you can imagine I been eating and cooking with Chile all my life! My eyes are itchy and my they look puffy I don’t know if this has a connection. Can some one give me some advise please.

Maybe you should try a different recipe.  Perhaps you are having some type of allergic reaction to one of the ingredients.  If you get this type of reaction, please stay clear of that.  Sorry, I have nothing more brilliant to add.
