Thread: Chile and the Reaper

I raise bhut jolokias(ghost chiles). the 1st harvest i ended up in the er in respiratory distress after prepping the peppers for sauces. You MUST wear a respirator... and 3 layers of gloves. Also get your wife, lady friend, or kind neighbor to help you aim when using the bathroom for a week....
My hands and etc burned like icyhot for 3-4 days straight.....

The pepper actually has a wonderful flavor when used in the correct proportions. ~1 tablespoon of sauce is more than enough for a medium hot pot of soup/gumbo.

I have yet to try a reaper... please save the seeds. I would like a few samples if you grow them out next year.

Sorry, no residual effects.
I simply eat too much spicy foods and chiles.
That and the fact that I prep for such by eating a good meal and milk/ ice cream before and after.
