Are there any bad effects to eating a jalepeno pepper raw?

Only if you rub your eyes/nose, and if you eat too many, the next day might be a little rough.

You'll be fine unless ur prone to heart burn then I don't reccomend it. Also as other have said it may burn a litte on the other end.

Nose? What could happen there?

Rub your hands with a cut open jalapeño and rub the (inside) of your nostrils. See what happens.

Great if you have clogged nasal passages.

Just rub your eyes after you've touched one...

If you take a leak after dicing up a few dozen, you'll wash your hands *first* next time.

Oh please, jalapeno peppers aren't all that spicey. Now a fresh organic habanero pepper, now that's spicy.

speaking of jalapenos and rubbing your eyes, i was chopping some for my dad at his restaurant, and my eye lids got itchy, so i rubbed them, it was burning. Then i was sweating from the burn on my eye lid so i wiped the sweat off of my forehead, and my forehead began to burn. it was really stupid. Don't worry, everytime i touch my head and wipe sweat and such i always wash my hands. :cool:
