chinense Carolina Reaper pepper causes thunderclap headache

muskymojo said:
Headaches seem to be a mystery a lot of the time. If I'm outside all day when it's cold out (like really cold), I often get a pounding headache about a half hour after I come in from the cold to a warm house. I'm fine all day in the cold. It's also weird that a hot shower usually cures my headache. I've asked numerous people if the same thing happens to them, and I've yet to find a single person with the same problem. It's been happening for 25+ years now.

I dunno...

It's abrupt changes (in your case, increase, with the warmer temp) in brain blood flow. Same mechanism that causes migraines. If you pay attention to it, you'll see the pounding rate corresponds to your heart rate.
 
 
 
That’s never been diagnosed after eating hot peppers before, but Turkish doctors have reported a heart attack in a young man who took cayenne pepper pills.

Isn't there some idiot on this forum from Turkey who tries to get his friends to eat hot peppers and have diarrhea on busses?

No, Cayenne pills are a diet fad based on the twin facts that chilli eating speeds up the metabolism (for a short while) and that most dieters don't actually want to feel the chilli. So just stick it straight into the digestive system, bypassing the mouth...
