item, could put even a complete non-
chilehead in the hospital.   Doesn't it take a pretty extreme amount of
capsaicin to do actual physical damage as opposed to simply causing
discomfort? >>

Did you see Mrs. Doubtfire.  The scene in the restaurant (Bridges in 
Danville/3 miles from me) where there was pepper sprinkled on wanna be 
fiance's meal could actually happen I guess to some folks.  Can't imagine 
life without Chiles, hummmmm or would that be no life and thus no more Chiles.
