chinense Bad Experience with Carolina Reaper

BigRed12315

So tonight... Was my second attempt at eating the dreaded Carolina Reaper. The first time ate it, I was fine. I mean, It was hot but the after effects were not as harsh. This time, I puked about 3 times. I was high off adrenaline the whole time so I hardly felt the burn. I couldn't breathe.... I panicked and thought I was going to need CPR or something. I just hope to God I don't get cap cramps later tonight. But I'm pretty sure I puked the pepper out so I might be in the clear (hopefully). I might post the video but have to do a lot of editing, since I really thought I was going to die. So just wanted to share my experience, maybe share you own  experience with hot peppers or the Reaper.

Brave soul at 16. My 13 year old son is just as daring. His friend came over Sat to play hockey, and during a break they thought it would be fun to eat red raw Thai Black Dragon peppers. When I walked in the room, they were both chugging milk, and had tears running from their eyes. I just started laughing, and grabbed them some bread and butter. They both want to try my Carolina Reapers when they come in.

You sound like an awesome dad! But I don't think you should let them try the Reapers. Maybe a little bite, but not a whole pod. I really felt like I had to go to the emergency room at some points.

I will let them try it, but will have butter milk or heavy cream on hand in the fridge. I also have Epi pens on hand if needed. Oh, and a bucket for the puke.

Just have them be safe. And yeah, a bucket would be the best. I puked a total of 3 times. 
 
I have an unproven theory that your body develops a chemical memory like muscle memory... so that you may not experience such a "shock" in the future once you've gone through that...
