Not on purpose. I once had someone hand me one to taste and not knowing the difference, I took a bite. Arghh. I'm surprised I still married him. _________________ -amom

Yeah, I do this every so often. I read somewhere that the capscacin in hot peppers gives you a rush and is also somewhat addictive, so I think that's why I didn't swear them off after the first time. _________________ The end is nigh!

Cy, my co-worker "Hawk-Eye" , grew some kind of hot pepper that looked exactly like a sweet green pepper. He gave me a piece to taste and that thing(about a square 1/2 inch) was as if I put a cup of nitric acid in my mouth.
When Hawk was eating them with his sandwich; his entire head and what little hair he had, was nearly soaked in sweat.
Hawk died in his middle 50's from a variety of stomach ailments and he suffered badly. |

He probably gave himself a bunch of ulcers in his stomach. Some people are more susceptible to that than others. For the record, I only crunch on a hot pepper like this a few times a year. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

No doubt that is right and suffer he did. I have never been able to eat any hot pepper by itself.
Even when I can them, I wear rubber GLOVES. That capscacin? stays on your hands a long time and if you touch any opening on your body, it burns, burns , burns. |

Yes it does. First time I ate a habenero straight, I wasn't prepared. Immediately reached for my milk carton and drank straight from it. Big mistake. For the rest of the week, when I drank milk, I had to put up with a burning sensation.
Also, an hour after eating the pepper, thinking I was okay, I absent mindedly reached up and rubbed my eyes. It took about 1 second for me to realize my mistake and about 3 hours for me to pay for it. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact!

I get a lot of homegrown tomatos as gift here at my store. I've gotten pretty good at making a very hot salsa with habeneros and green chillis as the heat ingredients. After rubbing my eyes the first time I made it, I haven't done it again. Even after washing my hands several times with oil soaps and oxyclean, there is still spicy oils left on the hands. Its seems that I have to wait overnight until some of the cells die on my hands and peel away.
...yeah, so, I wear gloves now. _________________

Gloves are basically a requirement when handling habeneros. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Done that eye thing which led to the glove thing, but the pepper Hawk was eating was a pepper that looked like a "Bell" pepper, not the straight yellow Hungarian shaped one which is why I tasted it. Never saw a Bell pepper that was hot. |

Might have been a Poblano. They some times look like bell peppers, although they are typically a little pointy at the bottom. They are a bit less hot than jalapenos typically. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Eat them enough times and your rear will acclimate. Not saying it doesn't still hurt, but its mild and can be overlooked. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |
