Yea, that's not an allergy. You know how hot a ghost pepper is? Even adults act that exact same way...

Symptoms:

 

Runny nose

Itchy eyes, watery eyes, red eyes and sore eyes

Cough

Hives

Asthma and breathing problem

Swelling of lips

Selling of tongue and throat

Nausea and vomiting

Itching and rashes over skin

Sneezing, wheezing

Sinus pain, headache

Swelling of face

Eczema

Abdominal issues, upset stomach

Constipation

Low blood pressure, unconsciousness and anaphylactic shock are life threatening

The vast majority of those effects also come with extreme vasodilation and other mucosal membrane effects, save for anaphylacsis, which high levels of capsaicin is great at producing.

Eating peppers this hot produces a natural high. Your body reacts to the extreme burning sensation by flooding with endorphins. But the pain is short lived, meaning the endorphin kick lasts longer than the pain, giving a sense of euphoria. Both me and my 11 year old son enjoy ghost, scorpion, and other extreme peppers. Putting them in the same sentence as jalapeno is like racing a Lada vs a McLaren.

I'm at the point where I get their fruity flavor as a primary input and the heat is a nice plus. But then I've been eating them for almost 45 years.

The very look of the things just screams "Don't eat me, you WILL regret it!"

EXACTLY what I tell my friend who eats this stuff.

Nature designed those things like that for a very specific reason.

To tell all of the animal kingdom "DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT"

And all of the animal kingdom understands this, except for 1 species.... 

We are a funny species.

My cat ate some of the peppers off my ghost pepper plant. So make that two species.

The funniest part of all of that video was Dr Ash  "Have A Good Day"

The rest was - dang - that guy isnt all there.

Birds eat chilies, which is how their seeds are spread. Chilies are hot to repel critters whose digestive tracts are long enough to destroy the seeds. 

 

And humans have long eaten noxious, semi-noxious or other strongly flavored plants, roots or fruits because 1) they like the taste and 2) they have medicinal or antimicrobial properties; chilies, onions, garlic, allspice, oregano, stevia, etc. Even small doses of belladonna, the infamous poison, can be therapeutic and (gasp!) is sold over the counter in cold, cough, pain and other meds.

 

I once read that of 30 commonly used spices >75% had antimicrobial properties, and that  garlic, onion, allspice and oregano kill or inhibit everything that they have been tested on. This works so well that the poultry industry is now starting to use water tagged with oregano extracts in place of antibiotics.

 

Some US researchers have looked at strong spice use around the world and found that in all countries tested such spices are used more often in meat dishes, which seems to make sense.

OK, but I was just trying to make a joke.

If my incorrect diatribe upset you and your GI tract- it wasnt intentional.  Honestly - I was just trying to be funny.  Sorry I failed so horribly.

I'm usually quite funny - just ask me - I'll tell you.
