We in the desert SW put this kind of stuff on our eggs in the morning...
...the other stuff, sounds like something to sprinkle on our chips as a snack.

No, that is the second worst thing. The first is going to the restroom without washing your hands first. Found that one out when I was a kid after slicing jalepenos for my mom and then taking a potty break.
I do know of this, from someone I cooked with in a chili cookoff years ago.
He mistakenly had to use the "facilities" after preparing the chili with mucho habeneros. He apparently didn't wash his hands off enough, before having to go.
Needless to say, all of the ice in the ice chest was melted in no time.
'nuff said.
"These super hot sauces and peppers are ridiculous. What you do is add more of a good, relatively low heat, hot sauce or chili peppers to the recipe."
Good point. Now the question is, what sauces actually taste good and have a good kick? For example, I like Tobasco (red and green), your basic Louisiana style hot sauces (like Red Rooster and such), Red-Hot and X-tra hot Red-Hot, and Sriracha chile sauce, but find them all fairly mild in heat. I've had some carribean-style hot sauces that were a lot hotter, based on, I guess, haberneros or scotch bonnets, but I'm not really all that keen on the taste of them. I've had some hot jerk-type sauces that were pretty good, though.
And good tasty suggestions?
I had suspected that, knowing that the "chile" pepper family was only indigenous to the new world. Funny how quick some cultures (don't forget Vietnamese, Korean and several others) took to them, though. Given that westerners basically ran the spice trade for the last several hundred years, I don't no why most western cultures haven't taken to highly seasoned food more than they have until fairly recently. I love all that stuff.
Pardon me, but no matter how effective that sounds, I'll stick to my Vick's Inhalor to clear MY sinuses, thank you very much!
Darn chemical warfare, it sounds like. Leave me out.
Getting habanero pepper juice on your fingers prior to a trip to men's room can be serious mistake. A peppered willy is something you don't easily forget.
Hot peppers first came to Asia via Goa... Portuguese colony
Sriracha chile sauce, but find them all fairly mild in heat.....
I love that sauce and eat Vietnamese pho with it. That's as hot as I need these days and I can eat a decent amount of that sauce. With all due respect man need not go much hotter than that. My favorite hot pepper powder is circa 30,000 scoville with a nice deep red *real* color. I just use more of it for hotter. Go to Frontier Herbs for good hot pepper powders
That' Nuts!
I went to a Mexican restuarant and asked for some hot sauce. They first gave me some kind of house blend which was nothing I cared for (the wimpy stuff they give the regular folks I guess ). I asked again for something with "a bit more kick" and this is what they gave me. I loved it !! I asked to take the bottle home after dinner and they said no problem.
Funny thing was they warned me it was very hot and seemed concerend about even giving the sauce to me at first. But after a quick taste test, I just shook my head and smiled. They eased up after that. : )"
Hahaha that's funny because something similar happened to me. I was in a very authentic Mexican restaurant and one of my friends asked the waiter for some "hot sauce." My friend made a shaking motion with his hand (like shaking a bottle) so I figured they would bring him some Tabasco sauce. (I was wrong!) He tasted it and described how incredibly hot it was. As a lover of spicy food I had to try it. I dipped the tip of my fork in a small amount and when it hit my tongue I was shocked at how good (flavorful and hot) it was. I thought to myself, what b***s on this waiter bringing that to a customer. This is MY kind of restaurant! Hehe. They let him take the bottle home. I eventually found it online at a Mexican grocery store and ordered some, then luckily I found it cheaper in a local Albertson's grocery store. I don't bother to keep mine in the fridge, because I suspect no bacteria could ever survive in it!
A friend of mine didn't wash his hands after cutting jalapenos. Later that night, he touched his wife in a very intimate place. It launched her right out of bed and into the cooling water of the bathtub.
No wonder AZ is such an arid place.
My trip to AZ has posponed until this fall. ; )
Okay, but why?
