hot okra
my family LOVES hot pickled okra and we eat it all the time at family dinners and stuff. well it always takes me forever to get the burning out of my mouth, and i read this story where this girl ate one of the hottest peppers in the world, and she started chugging glasses of milk.
will milk really help the burning, or will it just make it worse?

Milk will help. So will sour cream. :] Don't try water, though, as thelaura mentioned.

Milk will definitely help, yes.
Water won't, because capsaicin (a molecule found in most hot foods) isn't soluble in water.
If you are old enough, wine and other alcohols can help, too.
After eating, rinse your mouth with mouthwash. Since mouthwash is around 20% alcohol, swishing it around your mouth will ease the burning sensation.

no, milk will help. and bread because it will absorb all the "hotness". whatever you do, dont drink water, it'll pick up the heat, and the rest of your mouth will pick it up from the water.
