The hot pepper linked to teen's death can cause arteries in the brain to spasm.
Life is chemistry.
At the risk of having some fool conclude we should regulate hot peppers as a drug: Capsaicin is an active ingredient in some topical pain meds.
Lack of muscle protein promotes insulin resistance. Sugar takes the edge off pain. Etc.
Enough of anything can kill you, even water. Water poisoning is a thing and people in the military tend to have heard of it and with heat waves sweeping the globe, it's making the radar of more people.
- jug 3y agoYeah, capsaicin as a drug should probably not need regulation. As a snack for entertainment, on the other hand.
