SO. He was drying them in the garage. He walked out and said the smell was so strong but I couldn’t smell ANYTHING so we took them in and at this point dad’s eyes are watering but I can’t smell a thing. So dad was like “bet you won’t eat one then” so of course I did and so did dad and NOTHING. Dad’s choking and crying and his nose is running and he’s seeing sounds and I’m completely fine. Don’t get me wrong, it was hot. It was damn hot. But I didn’t even break a sweat. My nose didn’t even run. I literally don’t understand how this happened because like I can’t even eat Indian food because it’s so spicy like I can’t do spice at all but this had like no effect on me I’m so confused like did my brain just nope out and stop tasting so I wouldn’t die or what.

So I did a small experiment (vodka may or may not have been involved)

I have a canister of pepper spray and I was curious as to whether or not I would have a subdued effect to that as well as the Carolina Reapers.

So. I donned surgical mask, gloves, and glasses. I sprayed a bit of pepper spray into a shot glass.

NOTHING.

My nose burned a bit. But that’s all. I held the pepper spray up to my nose and got a mild burning sensation. I dipped my bare finger into it and felt no burning. I finally got the courage to dip a toothpick into the bit of pepper spray and taste it. It was only mildly hot. Not unbearable, however.

So. I guess I discovered that I have a lame ass super power in that I can tolerate capsaicin ridiculously well

This is great and not lame at all!!!

Oh! I have that same exact superpower! Capsaicin, even at its highest decibels has no effect on me. Other than clearing my sinuses and curing heart burn, that is.
