Paprika

I have inadvertantly come into the possession of 5 hot peppers. Things I learned in the process:

1. erős does not mean sweet; édes means sweet
2. Hot peppers become significantly less spicy when cooked
3. But after cooking them your hands will burn for a looooong time

Things I have yet to figure out

1. How do you make your hands stop burning after cooking hot peppers?
2. Why do "sweet" and "spicy" sound so similar in Hungarian?
