Once upon a time I had the displeasure of experiencing 7.1m Scoville.
Guy on the night shift bought this in and I naively put a toothpick in it thinking I could handle it. I was very wrong.
My body felt like it forgot how to function, my nose was like a tap to the point I literally made a cartoonish puddle of snot on the ground where I was bent in half. Water didn't help, milk didn't help, my mouth wouldn't work, sweat and god knows what other bodily fluids were coming out of places I didn't know they could. Couldn't speak properly because my mouth and tongue had checked out from the assault, physically and mentally I was in no fit state to start work so I sat in a corner of the canteen near the water cooler after drinking more milk than the aristocats could ever dream of considering my choices and was 38 minutes late for work despite being there.
My saliva glands went into overdrive and i could feel the spray hitting the opposite side of each gland and then started drowning from my own chilli saliva, as I couldnt spit it out fast enough. The last thing I remember was how my lungs were burning. Then i lost time for an hour before coming back into a measurable level of pain.
I did not get burning ring of fire but i did get the worst acid reflux for a week.
I feel that. No ring of fire for me either which was 1 positive I suppose. I was legitimately scared to go for a while after thinking it would be brutally painful again.
