  • Food woes...

    Whenever there is curry or chili around me, I feel as if I actually have cayenne pepper in my eyes for the rest of the day. Nothing helps except a good nights sleep. I can't seem to stand being around spices like cumin, coriander, curry powder, or any peppers. The other day, my boyfriend heated up some chili on the stove and added cayenne pepper to it. I wasn't even in the kitchen; I was in the living room and my eyes started feeling like someone dumped pepper all in my eyes. I tried washing them out with eyedrops, but it did nothing.

    So...not only can't I eat curry or chili, it seems like I need to keep a 30 ft distance from it or something.

    Does this happen to anyone? How can I protect myself? Must I ban people around me from eating curry or chili?? Is this from ocular rosacea or from simply dry eye?

    Thanks!
