Question of the Day: Can Spicy Foods Kill You?
Discussion Starter from Mental FlossI’m learning how to cook, which has been an adventure. The other night, after an encounter with some particularly spicy Italian sausage combined with even spicier barbecue sauce, my roommates and I found ourselves wondering if eating spicy foods could kill you. I mean, it can certainly cause intense pain and chest tightness; so can too much spicy food kill you?
Well, according to everything I could find on the internet, probably not. I could only dig up a few cases where pepper killed and none of them were typical. In one, a four-year-old with pica (a penchant for eating things that aren’t necessarily nutritious) breathed pepper in and experienced respiratory failure. This medical study documents eight known cases of pepper deaths, seven of them homicides. Other research has shown that in high doses, consuming pepper can be lethal, but even I don’t put enough pepper in our food to qualify as a lethal dose. Even spice allergies are generally mild. In fact, spiciness is pretty tame; it doesn’t even kill your taste buds, since it registers in the pain sensors on our tongue. Spicy food doesn’t even cause ulcers, as we used to think, but it actually can help secrete new stomach lining and help treat them.
Pepper spray is a different beast, though. It’s not meant to be lethal (it’s often hailed as the best non-deadly defense weapon), but it can be in extreme cases. Earlier this month, a Bel Air man died after police used pepper spray to restrain him after he threatened to kill his family. However, examiners said the effects of the pepper spray were exacerbated by his 550-pound girth and high stress, which led to breathing problems and made the pepper spray lethal. Also, asthmatics and people with intense allergies can experience respiratory problems from pepper spray, which can sometimes result in death.
Overall, though, it looks like spiciness may do more good than harm. They may not kill people, but new research shows that they can help kill cancer cells. Spices can also help kill bacteria and prevent food from spoiling, which explains why some ancient cultures were so fond of piling on the pepper (I’m looking at you, Thailand). All in all, it looks like we ought to rethink the names of the world’s hottest peppers ““ Bih Jolokia, which translates to “poison chili pepper” and Bhut Jolokia, which means “ghost chili pepper.” Still, with an astronomic 855,000 and 1,001,304 Scoville units respectively (compared to 30,000 for cayenne and 300,000 for the habanero), it doesn’t sound like anything I’ll be using for salsa anytime soon.

If that isn’t you, then my apologies. You haven’t been the angel in all this, so what are the rest of us to believe? I am sure you heard of the fable, Peter and the Wolf. I might have been guillable enough to have believed it, but the people in the know, have facts to show you were on HWL through something called IP Address. Something you denied ever being on. So what is thetruth, and how am I going to be able to tell between the fakes and the lies?
[Comment ID #139743 Quote]
It was truth. IP’s don’t lie. He’s just trying to add fuel to a dying fire.
[Comment ID #139743 Quote]
I take my apology back, you lied once more. IP Address is confirmed yet again, but now on TTF. So again, why are you called thetruth anyway? The biggest question I have is why Nick lets you represent HSB as if you are a part of its ownership?
In the USPS, we are told that if we are in uniform, whether on duty or not, we represent the uniform we wear. We have to be upstanding people in the public eye because when we act in a manner not befitting the USPS, they are directly affected. You want to go and act like an assclown on another website and wave the HSB Banner as such as you do, it makes Nick and HSB look bad.
[Comment ID #139747 Quote]
Whatever buddah i really dont care about ttf..let them say what they want i did not do it end of post later ip address ea ok DK i really belive you..like i said post away im done
[Comment ID #139748 Quote]
Okay, I am done too. We can just send the IP Address to Nick and let him compare the one you post with on here and let him make the call. I am sure you won’t have any problems though because you are tight. Have a nice day.

LOL ya know I was wondering the same thing.
Maybe they are spending their time trying to find something else to bitch to Nick about now that they actually got what they want. Freakin sad and hilarious at the same time. Gotta love the irony……
[Comment ID #140069 Quote]
[Comment ID #140170 Quote]
Nobody asked for an off topic section. There WAS one already, just nobody used it. What was asked for was a change in the way it is implemented so it would be used instead of the regular comments section in the latest posts.
So where’s the commentors in the regular posts? Seems this thread has been the most popular one here on it’s own since the Curt’s Salsa thread. Seem’s like a sucess so far to me.
Funny thing is that nobody actually got anything here. Wait until this post drops off of the front page and people lose track of it, the crap will show up in the regular posts again. The point that was made was that the off topic wasn’t easily accesible, not that it didn’t exist. Nothing funny or ironic here. Just another display of the same old crap that’s wrong with this site.
[Comment ID #140146 Quote]
I’ve got a suggestion, FREE BLANE! That ought to liven things up around here. 😉
Perhaps the solution is for Nick to include an off topic thread post just below each new post of a review, or garden update, or recipe…
That way there is always an accessible OFF TOPIC thread that can be easily found and used for each new post.
Boy oh boy Kristi that doesn’t sound like you. I think the truth here is that there wouldn’t be complaints if people would treat each other with respect as if they were dealing with themselves.
DK, I love ya brother, but there is only so much banging you can do on that drum before people put cotton in there ears. This blog is Nick’s and he is free to do whatever the hell he wants with it. People asked for more, then there are many alternatives we can turn to. If he wants an off topic thread or not, or some random assclown as a spokesperson, Nick is free to do what he wants to do. Yes, you have a right to blog freely and speak your mind, and he is free to ignore you, ban you or take you up on your recommendations. In the end, this is Nick’s website.
Sorry, bad day, and I am ready to bite someones head off today.
[Comment ID #140197 Quote]
THERE ya go! A simple suggestion to stimulate discussion instead of the normal defensive attitude. How flippin’ hard was that? Nice Gildo. Glad to see you’re still posting bro.
[Comment ID #140190 Quote]
Im convinced you will never be happy. You want an off topic thats easily accesible, you get it, still not happy. This whole topic of conversation is just tired. I know you didn’t ask but I didn’t ask to listen to you complain every other day either so all is fair in love and war right? xoxo
Nobody’s perfect and maybe a bit more tolerance and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is more in order. This nega
[Comment ID #140200 Quote]
Put cotton in the ears, the drums get louder, and still nothing gets done. That’s been my whole point all along.
As for it being Nick’s website, THAT it is, but it’s a cop out excuse and always the easy go to answer. In ownership, it’s true, it’s his, no doubt about that. Seems that I remember a time when there was a post about a plaque, or award that Nick received and he said that the HSB isn’t truly “his” site, but that it belongs to all the people that use it. So why is the typical reply to any suggestions that “it’s Nick’s site, he can do what he wants”. There’s an awful lot of people that visit this site with brains of their own and ideas that could possibly benifit the HSB. Why quash those ideas from the start with the attitude that it’s Nicks site, to heck with you, he’s gonna do what he wants?
Yes, in the end, it’s Nick’s decision, but to flog someone for suggesting something isn’t the answer. That’s wher I have a problem.
Uh oh, the rest of my comment didn’t come through…..whatever……beating a dead horse at this point, again, just tired.
[Comment ID #140202 Quote]
So another simple Off topic gets posted to appease me? I didn’t ask for that. I said that there needs to be an easily accessible off topic area. Nothing’s changed. And I never said that I was gonna post 30 posts a day in here if one was created. An off topic section isn’t needed for MY benefit, but for the whole sites benefit.
This post will no longer be easily acessible once it drops from the front page. Nothing was changed, a new thread was posted to quiet things for the time being. I stand by every word that I’ve said. As me ever being happy, unless someone would actually attempt to make changes or at least embrace the idea that it can happen for the better, and people can visit this site without being attacked or berated, then no, I won’t be happy.
I hate inaction. No matter where it is. I’m a firm believer that everything can be improved upon. And that can’t be accomplished by sitting around just accepting things for what they are. Everything I’ve accomplished has been because I’ve made it happen. Nothings ever ben just handed to me. I won’t let it. Maybe my expectations are a little high, but why shouldn’t they be?
Sorry Buddah, is it wrong of me to blame my pregnancy hormones??????? lol

Cheer up camper, Lassie will come home and everybody else lighten up because life’s too short to get your panties in a bunch over the small stuff. I work a hard 40 for da man Monday through Friday (8 to 5) and really look forward to hanging out with all of the people that I have met on these blogs but it gets to be a little too much like work with all of the back and forth between the commentators. In the grand scheme of things, it’s really just not that important and by gones should be by gones. Actually, I think Bret at Jungle Jims should sanction a good natured WoF Sumo Wrestling (in the padded outfits) tournament between Blane and TheTruth as a way to put this whole thing all behind everyone.
[Comment ID #140219 Quote]
I could handle that.
[Comment ID #140213 Quote]
Someone say free roadkill
Willy, what is the ultimate gain by repeating the same criticism over and over again? You honestly believe that this is the tactic that will make Nick change his mind and make this blog in your image? You know we have good alternatives that offer a different approach than at HSB. I know you have a vision, and its a good one, but saying the same thing over and over again obviously will not change a thing. After a while you got to let the guy do what he thinks is best. Is it any different than teaching your kids to do the right thing, and hoping when they hit the real world they will do the right thing. You can always guide them, but you have to let them be, because if you don’t resentment will kick in. Nick is no child, and I don’t mean to use that analogy to demean him, just the first thing off of the top of my head.
All things can be made better except maybe a good slice of NY pizza, and I am sure some of you will suggest a hot sauce to change my mind. The HSB is not a bad place, and its not a bad place to read. Nick has some personal stuff going on, and I think whatever that might be it should be the most important thing in his life for the moment. Lets give the guy a break.
Oh yeah, Nick, Free Blane.
[Comment ID #140243 Quote]
No tactic, not wanting anything in my image. And no, I don’t think Nick gives a rats ass what I say. But there’s a lot of wrong that’s been done to a lot of people here, and nobody seems to care. Well, I do and I’m willing to speak out about it. Always have been, always will be.
Maybe it’s falling on deaf ears. Well, so be it. It still doesn’t make the BS that goes on here right, and it sure as hell doesn’t help anything to stay quiet, people bitch about that too.
Gildo stepped up today and made some suggestions. Where’s the discussions on that? Umm, everyone’s too busy worried about why I’m not posting in the off topic thread. Why not just take up where Gildo left off and try to make a difference in what happens on the HSB.
Free Blane, Free Jerky, Free Roadkill!! Peace out bra.
[Comment ID #140252 Quote]
No offense to Gildo’s suggestion, I just think that is over kill. At least he is trying. I think the link on the left top of the page entitled “off-topic” is fine, but maybe it should be in a different spot so people could find it as easy as the unlit Boiler Room.
Anyway, how about we change the topic for a day or two? So who is going to Zestfest Miami? Only 24 days left folks! Its going to be a very hot show. Get it? Miami…fiery foods show…hot? 😐 I need a sound track.

I actually don’t drink PBR if I can help it. We have a local brewery here in Paso Robles, Firestone Walker, that was recently selected as best pale ale in America by Men’s Journal, so I’m usually drinking one of their selections. Best beers I’ve ever had.
Hey Bret, I hear booths are only $175 until June 1 before they go up, right? Then its still only $200 until July 1? I want to make sure my buddy gets the info right. That is the best bargain in da business from what everyone tells me.

Hey Sam, from my experience, the question should be “Who won’t ride the bull? ” It’s a contagious thing . It may start out with three or four drunk willing fools but before you know it there’s a crowd of thirty + and people are lined up to be tossed! Its a great time. You should look at past threads, Nick has a great video posted that shows everyone who took on the challenge! I highly suggest it!

Mmmmmm, beer.
[Comment ID #140593 Quote]Ohh Yes, I did it last year and will of coarse do it again. We have a great picture of Danny Cash with a bucket of ice between his legs to both chill the beer and the nuts.
Happy Memorial Weekend to all. Think about those that gave their lives to defend our Country and our allies abroad. Give thanks for the freedom and rights we sometimes take for granted. Play it safe this weekend and don’t cross any lines of good sense. Don’t drink and drive!

Good point Buddah, but what, no mention of food???
picnics, BBQ, lots of hot to all!!! 🙂
Its not about food, its about heroes though. Sure we have bbqs and head to the beach or a loved one. We eat, we drink, and laugh and be merry, but the Holiday is about remembering those people who gave their lives for our right to Grill and stuff our maws. Not just the soldiers who went to war, but the people who watch our borders, that put out the fires, put away the criminals and/or fight the good fight against drugs.
Yeah, everybody enjoy the weekend, but let us also remember why we have this weekend to begin with.
Thank God for all the people who keep us safe (and deliver our mail) 😀
Hmmmm, Huv, you can come out of retirement. Use one of these first and win that Defcon Deathmatch 🙂
