My brother got some peppers yesterday. [View all]
We were out on his patio. He showed me a basket of small peppers (sweet, he said) that were given to him by a friend who has a garden. But my brother wanted some hot ones. I have some Hungarian Wax (hot) peppers, so we decided to trade.
There in this basket were some cute little round peppers, a little smaller than a golf ball. I thought, "These would be nice to just throw on the grill." I decided to try a tiny bite of one and [font size=4]Sweet mother of Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch!!!!!! WTF just happened to me???[/font]
My mouth was like a volcano filled with hot lava, except mercifully I couldn't feel my tongue. When I tried to breathe it was like I was inhaling mustard gas. I ejected the contents of my mouth as forcefully as I could. This created a toxic mist, which blew back into my eyes. I couldn't see.
It helped some when I submerged my head in the kids' wading pool. After mopping my face with a wet towel my eyesight eventually returned. I drank all the milk my brother had in the house and ultimately I recovered.
I decided I didn't want any more of those peppers. Holy shit, WTF was it that I just tasted? Any ideas?
