I agree. I love the flavor of habs, and can tolerate their heat, but others in my family can't. I'm eager to try one of these new, milder puppies.

By the way, stomach pumping is not an option when you down a really-too-hot pepper. The thought of it coming back up is unbearable in those circumstances. Of course, there's only one other exit, and that's equally dismal to contemplate. Which leaves death as the best option.

My secret for deadly peppers is to place a slice of highly acidic, salted tomato on my tongue...works pretty good.

Also, I agree with the medicinal properties of hot peppers. I swear they are good for you. They will definitely cure a lot of problems with the digestinal tract...particularly hemorrhoids. I know for sure.
