I keep telling myself that I need to eat more hot foods again, but I keep failing. I could barely handle the supercharged wings at Quaker Steak and Lube the other day, lol. I did try their triple atomic sauce and that was pretty good.

right now, the only hot sauces I have are Dave's Ghost Pepper, Frostbite and another one I can't remember

I love Dave's hot sauces. Hurtin' Habanero and Ghost Pepper are my two favorites.

When I was in high school a friend of mine brought a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce to school and dared me to lick a drop off my finger. So being the idiot that I was I took the bottle and drank half of it. Huge mistake! I ended up crying an hour later because it felt like I burnt a hole through my stomach.

Extract sauces aren't made to be consumed with out food very dangerous to do that

Just a note for those who think peppers are a real burner...........

[h=1]Hottest Chemical? - Resiniferatoxin Is a Thousand Times Hotter Than Capsaicin[/h]




Resiniferatoxin.png
The hottest hot pepper is no match for the spicy heat of the resin spurge Euphorbia resinifera, a cactus-like plant native to Morocco. The resin spurge produces a chemical called resiniferatoxin or RTX, which is a thousand times hotter on the Scoville scale than pure capsaicin, the chemical that produces heat in hot peppers. Law enforcement-grade pepper spray and the hottest hot pepper, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, both pack a punch of about 1.6 million Scoville heat units. Pure capsaicin comes in at 16 million Scoville units, while pure resiniferatoxin has 16 billion Scoville heat units.

Both the capsaicin from hot peppers and the resiniferatoxin from the Euphorbia can give you chemical burns or even kill you. Resiniferatoxin makes the plasma membrane of sensory neurons permeable to cations, especially calcium. Initially exposure to resiniferatoxin acts as a strong irritant, followed by analgesia. Even though the chemicals may be painfully hot, both capsaicin and resiniferatoxin may be used for pain relief.
 
Many Euphorbias have rather toxic sap, and I can vouch for how painful it can be after working in a nursery that grew them and ending up with tiny traces of it in my eye and on my nuts (two separate occasions!). Being latex based [rather than water based] it is very hart to wash off if you get it on your skin.

Certainly doesn't taste anywhere near as good as chilli either!
 
Just got some Tequila Sunrise seeds. They are not really hot, classified as a sweet pepper with a little heat. But I hear there is a good sharp bite to them. Can't wait to taste test them next year.
