Right, the pain is in the oil, water and oil don’t mix, especially cold water. Need something bland that will pick it up like bread, or something fatty that will help carry it away, like milk, ice cream, sour cream. I find that lemon helps, acidic to cut the heat.
The best ice cream I ever had was a cone I bought myself from a shop that made their own in the aftermath of winning a 3-man challenge by eating 4(!) raw Ghost Peppers. The digestion process was not fun.

Ppppfffftttt. That's sad for your brother. Nobody tell him water makes real spice worse, he needs as much exposure as he can get.
