Ohio middle schoolers treated after eating extra-hot peppers

Or to put it another way...

"An emergency response was initiated at a school in Ohio after around 40 children ingested Bhut Jolokia peppers ? one of the hottest species in existence.

An unidentified student brought the peppers into Milton Union Middle School, West Milton, and apparently shared them among other students aged 11 to 14.

Police and emergency responders were contacted on Friday after the students began to exhibit symptoms such as blotchy skin, hives, sweating, watering eyes and general discomfort, the Dayton Daily News reported..."

I like spicy, but this pepper is a bit too much.

Do like the Indians do and drink dairy to counter the heat. Water makes spicy foods worse by spreading it around your mouth.

Don't go pee after eating hot peppers with your hands without washing them thoroughly.

That and sugar eases the pain a lot. Water is absolutely the wrong thing to drink if the peeper is to hot.

Gives a whole new meaning to "feel the burn"

I grew hot peppers in my garden and my GF and I decided to cut up a whole bunch of them without wearing latex gloves... I went to pee before going to bed and touched something I shouldn't have.

My GF too... good thing we decided not to have sex that night.

Your false teeth?

63 years old, I still have all my teeth and I've never had a cavity.

My habaneros are almost ready in my garden.
I can tell you that I will wear gloves to pick them. A stupid involuntarily movement like scratching your eyebrow can ruins your evening.

I grow several varieties. One small sliver of habanero can turn a pan of burritos from normal to G-7 protest in a flash. I put a dozen or so in a bottle of cheap vodka for a few months, and use a splash of that to deliver heat where I need it.

I had a ghost pepper once. Just a little slice. Wonderful fruity taste, but I'm not sure it's worth the burn.

And never never cut hot peppers without gloves on!! And if you are cutting hot peppers, never poke yourself with the knife accidentally .

Shit, I used to use pepper spray on my powdered eggs when I ran out of Tabasco. Still love it hot!
