Alright, so far I have not tasted hot that really hurts my mouth to the point I panic or get an endorphin rush or anything. However, today was the second, and most definitely the worse, time that I got cap cramps. Both times were due to eating super hot sauce on an empty stomach. In fact both times were from eating Garrett's aka Pex Peppers Killer Swarm. Anyway, what is amazing to me is that the mouth feel is definitely hot but no where near what friends feel. The first time it was an hour and a half after I ate the sauce. That time was a tablespoon of killer swarm, tablespoon of hornet bomb, and a tablespoon of his BBQ as well. The stomach pain then was bad but I just had to sit and stare at the wall for about 15mins and then I was fine. This time all I had was a tablespoon of the killer swarm. I also had two whiskeys and coke(which may have made it worse). In any-case this time the pain started within 20 mins of eating. It got so bad that I was laying on the floor speaking in gibberish and to the point that my hands were throbbing and I couldn't really move them. I toughed it out versus going to the ER, which my wife was encouraging, and after about 30 mins it subsided and I feel fine now. Anyway, thought I would share my experience. Lesson learned for me is to not eat anything with super hots on an empty stomach. I can eat so much more with no ill effects if I've got food in my belly. Amazing how much of a difference that makes!
Near shock I think!

yeah, what youve just experienced was cap cramps. fun arent they.
A visit to the ER over cap cramps would be useless.
And expensive.
And expensive.
Yeah, that's what I told my wife. I figure at best they'd give you painkillers. She said they'd pump my stomach, but I doubt that would do anything. Just like spitting it out of your mouth doesn't help either.Naga Chomper said:

I know what you mean though. I finally worked up the courage to eat a chili off the plant, straight up, and it wasn't nearly as bad (aka good) as I remembered. NOw I gotta get some reapers or ghosts

But what they pay over a year on it is still a lot less than what we pay over 4 hoursGomojoe said:Yeah, that's what I told my wife. I figure at best they'd give you painkillers.

Don't b*tch about it and it goes away in .5-4 hours. Or you could always stuff your face with dairy or something.
The mouth part is satiated with milk. The gut part not so much. I will say that I drank a little bit of Maalox and the pain drastically decreased after that. Don't know if that was just timing or that the Maalox did the trick.
No offense, but it is pretty difficult to determine what you pay when it all goes to the government. Things like value added tax systems that incorporate taxes into the sticker price make it very difficult to determine what YOU pay and Canada does have a VAT tax type system. While many countries think it is stupid to not have a final price listed on items (because it really sucks to not know exactly what you are paying), I personally prefer the inconvenience of figuring out what I pay for an item so that I know how much goes to the GOV, to not know how much of that goes to Uncle Sam/(your government icon) just means you are a tool of the government(i.e. a few egotistical people who think they are geniuses and can solve every ones problems if we only listen to them). Anyway, fix the world by regulating everyone and let me know when that works! Sorry for the rant!cruzzfish said:But what they pay over a year on it is still a lot less than what we pay over 4 hours
