Wow!
I had a bunch of dried peppers given to me because I love hot and spicy food...I never knew what kind of peppers they were, but they were only moderately hot. I used to walk by where I hung them, break one off and just eat it. Delicious.
One night, I broke one off and began munching it down. This one was a bit hotter, but not too bad. I took another bite, and it was hotter still. Before I got to the trashcan, I was hyperventilating and having trouble breathing. My face was beet red, and I had sweat pouring off of my scalp and down my face.
I thought: I am going to die. All alone, because I ate a pepper. I pulled out milk and chugged some down, no relief. I stuck ice cubes in my mouth, nothing. It seemed to go on forever.
All I could think was someone must have stuck that in there as a prank. It was scary.
Yep, sounds like a habanero.
