...and I feel like I'm gonna pass out. No joke. I'm sitting here sweating like a pig and I feel really dizzy. My mouth is on freaking fire.

Try drinking milk or beer/tequila/etc. Water won't work because there are oils from the pepper clinging to your mouth and throat. Milk may help dilute it and alcohol may dissolve it.

Wasabi? Wasabi isn't hot you wuss! That yellow stuff they put in Devil Rolls is 100x hotter, and it's not even that hot.

I will never understand why people volountarily subject themselves to this. This is the last time I will be attempting to eat a hot pepper.

I really can only stand 1/4 of a habanero at one time without a drink or aid from ice cream. I'm working my way up to 1 full habanero though...

WHY?!?!?! Do you enjoy being in pain?? Would you try to see how many times you can get kicked in the balls? Of course not! What's the difference?

People do it because its a rush of sorts. Plus it proves you are a man, or something.

I like spicy things. /shrug I dont eat habanero's regularly but its fun to e very once in a while

I really like the kick it gives you. Being kicked in the balls is painful for quite some time and may cause permanent damage. The chemical in peppers doesn't do any damage at all. Note: if you over react and stress out about the heat you can give yourself hives just like any stress can - but this isn't caused by the pepper it is caused mentally. The spice brings out the flavors of other foods - but you can only notice this if the heat doesn't bother you. So I'm working up so I get the full flavor and will be unaffected by the heat. I think more people need to try it - tons of flavor without sugar or fat.

Dave's Special Reserve -- now THAT is spicy.

Poured about 1/4 tsp straight onto a taco I was eating (note: normal "dosage" is 1 toothpickful for a MEAL)

Sweated and grimaced a bit and my friends thought I was absolutely insane.

Anyone who thinks wasabi is hot is a wuss.


Oh, and MILK is a good antidote for hot sauce/peppers. The enzymes in milk coerce the capsicum to release its stranglehold on your mouth's nerve endings.
