I ate a whole raw scorpion pepper because someone was like "it's a scotch bonnet!"....I survived, I didn't go out like a bytch at all.
You think on cartoons when they eat something spicy and smoke or steam comes out their ears that the illustrators are exaggerating and it's just comedy. No, someone went through that. That shyt is real, if you don't believe me, eat a scorpion pepper.
Other than the ear thing, and the ears ringing (loudly) your stomach does hurt and start to cramp because there is oil in the hot seeds...that shyt just states in your stomach. I didn't start coughing and gagging, nor did I drink milk or water, just toughed it out. It sucked for like 20-30 minutes.
