It was ground dried ghost pepper and I spilled too much into the tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, garlic I was roasting for soup (about 3/4 of a teaspoon for a soup of about seven servings) and thought, oh well, I should be able to handle it. Wrong, so very wrong. Ghost pepper can be eaten, but a pinch in what I made above would have been enough. Also, avoid getting it airborne, etc. 😂

Knowing my luck, I would have rubbed this pepper over my eyes as I have done many times with chilli while cooking :D
I imagine you are little more careful with the amount(and type!) of paprika you add to you food 🤣
Ahhh, hahaha, so you know the pain of it all. I have burned everything except my insides until the ghost pepper incident in late 2021. Never will I eat it like that again, N E V E R. Number one worst experience ever with chilies.
I took the ground ghost pepper out of the kitchen. It's now relegated to careful (NO airborne) topical use only. The other is in a liniment and I am extremely careful when applying it now (low spray by accident, not fun).
It is so odd that you need to be so extremely carful with food :D Reminds me of the preparation of sea urchins, where one untrained move decides whether a guest survives dinner or not;/
Well, those ones are way up at the top in terms of heat units, as in dangerous levels if used incorrectly, imo.
Have you prepared said sea urchins? I think I've had it in sushi, but it's been a long time.
I think to work with sea urchins you actually have to be the very top of the top chefs to be fair. Plus I live in UK, so there are no such delicacies available fresh here:) I've just read about it few times, and still find it interesting why would people risk to eat poisonous creatures:)
I think I'd not want to do any of that.😂
Those with that alleged thrill seeking gene? Survival eating?
Ever find one washed up on the beach? I don't know why anyone wouldn't pick up on something with all those spikes (like small porcupine quills) as being a warning. 😂
Nope I do not:)
I am a bit jealous of people who decide to gamble their life for a few minutes of rush:)
I am playing safe :D
