what happens if you eat some Carolina reaper? Is it dangerous or healthy?
In: 0
There is nothing inherently dangerous about eating a Carolina Reaper. There is a chemical reaction to the capsaicin which our brains perceive as pain. No actual damage is being done to the mouth, stomach or throat. That being said, certain individuals can have stronger reactions, sometimes due to an allergy to Nightshades.
I recommend watching some more on this from [Ed Currie](https://youtu.be/DbKUlXG90G0?si=1fif3wYj4HccJwP8) who cultivated the Carolina Reaper and has eaten quite a few Reapers in his time.
