Doug,

So is my sister.  Thankfully, even though I can't grow tomatoes worth a darn
anymore (fusarium problem) can still eat them and peppers of course.  What
makes it worse is that the more you expose yourself to an allergy instead of
building immunity it gets more severe.

My sister can just slightly brush her arm against a tomato plant in the
garden and will break out in a terrible rash.  She's a typical Norse and
doesn't know from hot peppers so no problem there.

Sorry about no Calvin's chile powder. Calvin became seriously allergic
to nightshade, which includes all chiles, tomatoes, potatoes, etc., and
was forced to not only quit selling it, but worse, was forced to quit
having anything at all to do with those items. So, his hobby, and his
little business came to an abrupt end. Worse, he had other problems
concerning his business, as he was always exposed to chile tepins in
Texas, which grow wild everywhere the oil business is. The last time I
talked to him, he was not very happy, and I believe he had to pack up
his wife and 4 dtrs and move.  So, no more Calvin's product. However, an
unpaid commercial here, in that Jim Campbell was supplying Calvin with
some powders before he packed it in, and could possibly supply a
reasonable facsimile thereof. Even though he would do it under duress,
as his personal code of ethics would give him pause, before he would
"pirate" someone else's product. Even knowing the circumstance involved.
Do I know Mr.
Campbell??? Yup! So, there is the story! Cheeers, Doug in BC
