Side Effects Overview:

The extreme heat of these chili peppers leads to a variety of side effects, some of which are quite severe:

  1. Burning Sensations: Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, binds to pain receptors, causing intense burning in the mouth, throat, and stomach.
  2. Nausea and Vomiting: The body tries to expel the irritants, resulting in nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
  3. Sweating and Dizziness: The body sweats excessively as it attempts to cool down, and dizziness can occur due to the body’s stress response.
  4. Temporary Numbness: In some cases, participants experience temporary numbness in the mouth or throat as the body reacts to the intense heat.
  5. Digestive Issues: These can include bloating, indigestion, and stomach cramps that last for hours.
  6. Eye and Skin Irritation: Handling hot peppers, especially without gloves, can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, as capsaicin can be absorbed through the skin or transferred to the eyes.
