Already tried (unintentionally). Mentioned in the hot powder thread in Hot Talk. It burned. Didn't mention that it caused some minor bleeding.
I would never do it either. Just gotta remember to keep the nose at a safe distance when smelling a new powder! I have learned the hard way.
I was grinding a lot of habaneros last year, in my room. Oh boy..had to clean the hoover after also, so I know what youre talking about
