So, I have noticed a lot of comments in posts lately talking about people struggling the next day. I was feeling pretty good about myself given that I regularly eat some relatively spicy stuff but never really feel the side effects the next day.
Well…I hit this stuff up late last night for the first time on some pizza. Covered it liberally and yeah, this stuff is pretty hot but not the worst I’ve experienced by far.
But today…holy hell. I am dying. The only good thing about the experience is that it’s so fucking hot coming out, eventually I go numb. They could change the name from “I Can’t Feel My Face” to “I Can’t Feel My Ass”. Not fun. I think I’m sweating more today than last night.
Never having this stuff again, at least as a topping.
That’s all, thanks.

I feel like with the flakes you may not be feeling the heat fully in your mouth if they don’t get the chance to rehydrate a bit which doesn’t happen as a pizza topping, I wonder if the full impact happens more while you digest them. I haven’t had stomach issues but I have noticed some ghost pepper flakes tasted much hotter in a soup than on pizza.
I have found certain chillies hurt worse and different than others depending on the person. For me Naga offer another lvl of hell for the next 24 hours. Made some sausage rolls lately and diced up a fresh naga and put that in the mix. Next 24 hours my stomach was gurgly, toilet was hell, and my piss burned.. Not fun
Weirdly not even fresh reaper or scorpion into food does that to me.
I have a bottle of those and am too afraid to use it after just smelling them.
This has been my take away from spicy. “If it’s sauce you’ll be fine, if it’s herbs and flakes you will shit fire!” I learned this the hard way. I went to a Jackastors chain and I asked for suicide chicken tenders. They had ultra hot but not suicide and I was bummed. The waitress then said, “You know are chef is Indian I can ask him what he can do”. I said ok! Well , hell yeah it was damn hot! I was sweating bullets but also felt comfortable. Many a beer later at home and having the small left overs I took home I was good. Till I woke up and had to take a shit. Groggy and hungover I sat down. And I swear to you, it felt like a small elf was in the toilet holding up a light torch to my O ring! Grabbed towel rack, and bared down. That was my to much!
Get the grinder and make them into a powder, or use the flakes in soups and sauces so they rehydrate and incorporate into the dish
Honestly, yeah like sure the poo can burn a bit but i have a bidet and its not really that bad, but god damn when the capsaicin cramps hit I literally feel like someone is stabbing me
