Burning Ring Of Fire

What you call hell, he calls home.

ROFL! Had to excise a traumatic experience, and your reaction is pretty much what I was going for (along with a chuckle perhaps).

I will never understand why people choose to torture themselves by eating this stuff.

This sauce includes some Carolina Reaper. I do like it quite spicy, but some things just aren't meant for human consumption.

As a side note, I have a cousin who for whatever reason doesn't feel the effects of capsaicin. She can down a Carolina Reaper, Scorpion or Ghost Pepper, etc. like it's a green pepper. It's bizarre. She's kind of like Dark Man, but only with hot peppers.

I do like it quite spicy, above average by all accounts, but above 500,000 Scoville is getting too intense and is no longer enjoyable for me, and over a million is just dangerous. My step-son bought me this Mad Dog 357 while visiting state-side a couple years back when he bought one for an Australian guy he knows in Japan (where he lives, and where it has to be imported).

I've used it sparingly and in very small quantities, not wanting to pitch it because of where it came from, but I won't be making this mistake again. Yeesh. I was sweating profusely, and it stuck to my tongue and refused to rinse even with milk.

LOL. No doubt. Lesson learned, huh?

Talk about lessons learned, when I was 16 a friend paid me $10 to eat the entire wad of wasabi on my plate at a Japanese restaurant a group of us went to. Not as bad as a ghost pepper or Mad Dog 357, but it cleared my sinuses out quite effectively, with snot hanging from my nose for the next 15 minutes. Although that may have prepared me for a number of years later in the CH gas chamber you get put through in USMC boot camp. Drill instructor thought I was crazy because I didn't react, just stood there covered in my own snot.
