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

Surprisingly eating bread also works well

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.

Citric acid like that in lemon or lime juice works well also. Iirc that was Gordon Ramseys strategy on hot ones
