If anyone ever touches my wife of 36 years or my daughter of 26 years without her .... I'll fire up the Sig. Karen saya that I should have been a Marine. In retrospect... I think she is right. At least we agree on something. LOL. (We're still deeply in LOVE).

Yes, I know about Dave's Insanity Special Reserve. My sister gave a bottle to her hubby for Christmas a couple years ago. Comes in it's own wooden case, packed in straw. The label says "Do not use around pets or small children."
The directions expressly state that you are NEVER to use more than ONE DROP at a time.
I hope the defense department will requisition a pallet to use in Gitmo.
hihihihi
Emeril would love it-I watch him a lot and he always uses a ton of pepper type condiments on every dish it seems!

I bought my boss, the Bomb: 8M scoville units. He collects these sauces.
He put a drop of that gift in a ten gallon pot, and it was unedible to me.
I hear you. I was sorting through habanero seeds without gloves a few years ago. I knew better, but since they had been out of the pepper and drying for months, I thought "what's the harm?" We were heading out to price Christmas trees, so I thought I would use the men's room before departing. I steadied my aim as men do. About fifteen minutes later, this 'sensation' starts to kick in around the groin area. It lasted several hours, and it was NOT pleasant! (All those in attendance were also in tears...from laughter, at my expense.) NEVER again.
No, the worst thing is for a man to forget to wash his hands BEFORE using the toilet!

The last is a very good suggestion. A drop will heat up a bowl of chili very nicely.
My wife's from Jamaica and she eats habaneros with most anything. Just chops most of a whole one into whatever and chows down. I can handle about 1/10000 of one in a well seasoned dish...
I am something of a chilihead.
Recently, I wanted to impress my new in-laws from India with my tolerance for hot stuff, so I bought a couple of bottles of "extreme" hot sauces. I picked "Da' Bomb Ground Zero" and "Mad Dog's Revenge", at 234,000 and 1 million scovilles respectively. I enjoy both of them, and I managed to impress my wife's family without sending them to the hospital.
Ground Zero has a very nice flavor, and both bottles cost under $10 each and should last for a year.
Blair's "16 Million Reserve" is a massive ripoff. They sell you less than two grams of fairly pure capsaicin in a fancy bottle.
You can buy POUNDS of pure industrial grade capsaicin from chemical supply houses for less than the $200 price tag of Blair's.
Pricewise, the best bargain for capsaicin is "Frostbite" hot sauce. The 5oz bottle has about ten grams of capsaicin dissolved in vinegar, and is available for about $8.
It is always a hoot to read the reviews of these extreme sauces over at http://www.firegirl.com/extreme.html
