I believe the pepper I ate to have been the hybrid ghost pepper or lowest level of challenge. Yes it was hot. It tasted really, really good. The euphoria was almost as noticeable as the heat. I wouldn't screw around with it. However, I would do this again and feel that it was a safe and positive experience.

What really neutralized the burn was thick coconut milk of the kind that's used in curries. Ten minutes later, my tongue felt like it had been sanded smooth. I was still feeling euphoric, but otherwise unaffected and unaware of any discomfort. I did make sure I ate the pepper on a full stomach.

If you are considering taking @papa-pepper's #hotpepperchallenge, I highly recommend that you do it. It was fun!
