NB- I used the search bar beforehand, and despite this having been asked a few times, albeit in quite different ways, most had been ignored/had half-hearted responses.

I just bought a slew of sauces a few weeks ago from the ‘hot ones’ site… up to millions of scoville. At a couple hundred thousand, it makes everything run. Eyes, nose… My ears get moist … i get giggly, and it’s very punch drunk .. some even compare it to mushrooms. .. i don’t know the science behind it, but I’m hooked. I eat heat every day.
