Default Re: Caution: Very Hot!

For those planning on trying the 'Bhut Jolokia', you might want to be aware of what an overdose of capsacian can do. The primary physiological response is a reduction in blood pressure---that can result in fainting and if you are a pepper mouth that has built up a high level of tolerance, that response can be delayed by hours.

I have seen many get close to fainting from eating hot peppers and have experienced the delayed response myself after eating about a tsp of Dave's Insanity sauce.
