At least not from chilies. Aftermath of a hangover once or twice. But, never, ever, not once from chile. If your digestive system is working properly it breaks down the cap as it progresses through your digestive tract. Anyone who does get ROF on a consistent basis from chilies should hie themselves to a croaker they trust to get checked out. -- ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!!
