I love spicy food and usually add something to practically every dish. I shovel on jalapeno peppers with gusto and add a dash of Melinda's 4X for good measure. But never, EVAR, have I had anything as hot as Blairs. Too much and you can ruin an otherwise tasty pot of chili. I feel for you vi-_edit. The pain will subside with time. Good Luck. PM me and I'll send you the name of a good proctologist :Q !!!
