Re:  eating scotch
bonnets can give you second-to-third degree burns

It is an absolute, total falsehood.  Capsaicin binds to the same
nuero-receptor sites that the body uses to transmit the signal for
burning pain.  Your body is basically fooled into thinking it is on
fire.  It DOES NOT cause tissue damage.  While some highly sensitive
folks can/do report blisters, this is rare and most likely due to an
allergenic effect. 

I am regularly splashed with 2 million Scoville concentrate and have
suffered no long term effects other than a little drain bamage :-)
