Can you die from eating these extremely hot peppers?
- vesinisa 3y agoYes, although it's very rare. One famous example (sorry for link to garbage newspaper): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1063598/Aspiring-chef-dies-hours-making-ultra-hot-sauce-chilli-eating-contest.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1063598/Aspiring-ch...
- xboxnolifes 3y agoYou can die from anything that stresses the body.
- giantg2 3y agoMy wife would. She's extremely sensitive to spice, partially because she's never had any exposure to it. She touched something after I washed everything and still had burning and swelling on her finger and face.
- ksherlock 3y agoLast month a 14-yo died, allegedly from the one-chip challenge. That said, the news was reported long before the autopsy was finished (and it's still ongoing?) so there might be other factors. The chip in question is apparently somewhere in the range of 1.6 - 2.2 million SHU whereas pepper X is ~2.7 million SHU. https://apnews.com/article/massachusetts-one-chip-challenge-teen-death-5e421f73f5cc0e439ea05f228f4b8465 https://apnews.com/article/massachusetts-one-chip-challenge-...
