Re:
I dunno. This article says 16 million scovilles will raise a
"blister." Since cap acts only on the burn pain receptors it seems like
it would be impossibe for a simulated burning pain to raise a blister from
a burn. I've handled some hot stuff in my life and I think Tabasco Crab
Boil is 16 million SCV and that didn't make a blister. One error doesn't
discredit the article, but it does make me quit reading.
Can cap make a blister?
Carp, ever heard of "Hunan Hand"? Sure! Cap can work on any skin, although
you don't "taste" it except from the burn-pain receptors.
