lets see,,, where to start. I lerned to ALWAY read the direction before trying to fix your toilet.

Also learned,, after feeding the chickens some chilli hot peppers, by breaking them up in your hand and hand feeding them,, DO NOT,, repeat, DO NOT, rub your eyes, nose,, mouth,, or ANY other sensitive area ! ! ! !! Those things need a warnign label on them !!! more so than Kathys bolt cutters. Also,, DO NOT take a hot shower to try to remove the burning ! ! ! , It WILL intensify it,, just use soap and cold water. Thought about using alcohol to remove the oils,,, but,, do I really want to put that in THOSE areas???

Stan your story reminds me of another. A friend of mine were hanging out at the picnic table in his back yard several years ago. He was bragging about his hot peppers. so to demonstrate how hot they were he very ceremoniously and thoroughly split one open with his hands and selected just the right seed for me to try. I bit down on the seed. He was right. It was really hot!

He laughed, then went to pee by the nearby tree. He came back to the table, sat down and started to squirm. He started sweating profusely and squirming alot. It seems he had a case of profoundly hot pants, brought on by the pepper juice.

My summer job in college was working for Vlasic Foods. Whenever we were canning hot peppers they management would put signs in the restrooms reminding employees to wash their hands both BEFORE and after!

I think everyone who's ever worked with hot peppers has had that burning experience.

I just got a big bag of habeneros from my friend, she bought 'sweet bell'plants but couldn't figure out why they didn't grow to bell pepper size. Well with the frost she decided to still go ahead & harvest them, brought them in,cleaned them and took a bite of what she thought was a stunted sweet pepper!! LOL!! Apparently the tags had been switched or something. This is a gal who thinks mild hungarian peppers are too hot so you can imagine the call for help I got!!

Milk or buttermilk will calm down the burn, but Stan just don't say where you're going to use it when you go ask the neighbor for buttermilk . LOL!!!!!!

I like really hot foods so I'm in chili heavean since my habeneros didn't produce too many this year. Next year I'm raising African bird peppers which are supposedly even hotter. :o)
