Okay, here's information on what to do if you get jalapeño in your eye, formatted as requested:

If you get jalapeño in your eye, it's crucial to act quickly to minimize the burning sensation and potential irritation. Here's what you should do:

1. Immediately Flush Your Eye: The most important step is to immediately and thoroughly flush your affected eye with cool or lukewarm water. Use a faucet, a clean water bottle, or even a shower if that's the quickest option. Hold your eyelid open and let the water run over your eye for at least 15-20 minutes. The goal is to wash away as much of the capsaicin (the chemical that makes jalapeños spicy) as possible. See more on flushing%20your%20eye.

2. Wash Your Hands Thoroughly: Before and after touching your eye area, make sure to wash your hands very thoroughly with soap and water. This prevents transferring more capsaicin to your eye or spreading it to other areas. Learn more on washing%20your%20hands.

3. Remove Contact Lenses (If Applicable): If you wear contact lenses, remove them immediately before flushing your eye. The capsaicin can get trapped under the lenses and prolong the burning sensation. See more on removing%20contact%20lenses.

4. Avoid Rubbing Your Eye: Rubbing your eye will only spread the capsaicin around and make the burning worse. Resist the urge to rub! More on avoiding%20eye%20rubbing.

5. Use a Mild Soap (Carefully): After the initial flushing, you could gently wash the area around your eye with a very mild, diluted soap (like baby shampoo), but be extremely careful not to get any soap in your eye. This can help remove any lingering oils containing capsaicin. See more about using%20soap%20on%20the%20skin.

6. Consider Milk: Some people find that rinsing with milk can help, as the casein in milk can bind to capsaicin. However, water is generally the most readily available and effective option for the initial flush.

7. Pain Relief: If you are experiencing significant pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. See more on pain%20relief.

8. Seek Medical Attention if Necessary: If the burning sensation is severe, your vision is affected, or you experience any other concerning symptoms (like persistent redness, swelling, or discharge), seek medical attention from a doctor or eye care professional immediately.
