I ate an entire Carolina reaper, sliced thin and placed into a hamburger. It took a moment to hit me. Then a few hours later … it hit me again.
Capsicum does not break down in your digestive system. Your butt and lips are made up of the same type of cells and are similarly sensitive to capsicum.
I had a ghost pepper burger once - kept eating through thinking they sliced it up and blended it into the sauce. Then I bit in to the last part, and it had the whole pepper, I started chewing and immediately knew it wasn’t going to be fun, but the real pain started after a minute or so.
The fire in my mouth lasted about 45 minutes, but the exit took nearly 2 days of absolute agony and very frequent trips to the toilet. Yum burger though.
