To keep it simple I just got done working out and got home to make myself grilled turkey hash, I was cutting the jalapeños and bell peppers I like to put in it and forgot about the juice on my hand, I then got my spices ready and opened a new bottle of onion powder, since it was completely full and I opened it with a little too much force I got a little bit near my right eye and on my hand prompting me to rub it, almost instantly my eye literally felt like someone had just thrown a red hot spear into it. I rushed to the sink and did my best to flush it out but it literally did next to nothing to stop the burning, I ran to the bathroom and grabbed some tissues and doused them in milk and held them to my eye which helped a bit. It is currently 45 minutes later and I still actively want to kill myself.

Kill me.

TL:DR: Accidentally rubbed my eye with onion powder and jalapeño juice, do not make the same mistake
