Prayer won't do any good b/c you're knowingly doing it to yourselves. So I think that frees me up to laugh without guilt at you all. I'll feel kind of sorry for you but I'm going to laugh. Shall I go by Costco and bring Maalox and such things before I leave Raleigh? This is really beginning to sound interesting to first timers like myself.............and there's still 4 months left in the planning. Cat

Yeah, I think it's safe to laugh at them, Cat... I know I'll be laughing!

I'm not sure that Maloxx will be enough to put the flames out though. Eating one of these peppers is basically the equivalent of spraying some of the capsaicin "pepper spray" that police officers use straight into your digestive system. (Not smart!) I don't know how you could counter-act that stuff. (I guess milk and bread would be better than nothing thouugh.)

Even Doc admitted that he doesn't eat them. He only grows them so he can give them to fools that claim that they "really like hot food", and that "nothing is ever too hot for them." Sigh - pride goeth before the fall I guess...

Well... If this is the "don't try it" alarm, I think it's working...

I've watched a few youtube videos of people eating these things, and after seeing their reaction, I'm starting to think that these peppers should not be classified as food, but rather as weapons!

I'm also more than a little concerned that someone could have a reaction to one of these things that might require a trip to the Emergency Room. Seriously.

That's what I'm worried about...

We're sitting there playing with things the world over fears (lasers) and high voltage (HeNe's and whatnots), and the one thing that calls the EMS? Pepper!

well if you do not eat peppers on a regular basis.. dont try them because you could react..

if you DO eat peppers (not just spicy food) on a regular basis (like I do) then you will probably be just fine when everything is said and done.

Now i love pepperoncini and and habanero and many chili and peppers, but they are not to be eaten willy nilly just to prove you can take it.

i have had a nice Bhut Jolokia chili, from India, Guinness books hottest pepper. But i ate it baked over a stuffed green pepper. it was friken hot, but there were no seeds so it was was bearable... later that day after the indigestion was gone, there was an eruption of molten lava.

I love spicy foods and i love peppers.. but its pointless to waste such a wonderfully flavorful offering on pride.

Exactly, I can eat habaneros like candy. Once you get past the majority of heat, the taste is wonderful. I guarantee one of these Jolokia's will make me sweat but no trips to the ER. Now, If you're not a chili fan. I'd highly suggest you stay away from these suckers. I'm still not swallowing. I don't want to cramp up for 5 hours.

This thread just keeps on going downhil !!

Well said I love to make chili. Jolokia chili. Sounds promising

I wonder if there will be a demo of Beyond at SELEM this year...
