How's that? Horseradish effects last only a few seconds, unlike capsaicin, which can incapacitate someone for half an hour if present in high enough quantities.

  Eat a tablespoon. It's not pleasant. Wasabi (as in the posted story) is very similar to (and often IS) horseradish.

    I've done that, and it passes very quickly, unlike capsaicin. It seems very bizarre that a "horseradish OD" would result in someone needing to leave the restaurant.

      Less bizarre than the story we are commenting on. Everyone has a different tolerance for things.
