Facts

[@Cuddlefeeesh]

I've always appreciated how respectfully and thoughtfully Ann includes her sons in the videos. They are (or at least were, James is so big!) children and should have their privacy respected. I appreciate that they are never the main focus of the video while still including them because it's nice to see you interact with your family in such a wholesome way as opposed to family channels that exploit their children for views. Sorry for the long comment, I just really appreciate such a responsible and respectful parent.

FYI: Birds lack receptors for capsaicin. So, adding some hot pepper to your bird feeder will keep the squirrels and bears away but not affect the birds.

That's why chilis evolved capsaicin. So birds would eat them & distribute their seeds but mammals would stay away!

That's better than birds I guess!"

James outs spicy hot sauces on his dinner all the time - so it definitely works. He also has a very high pain threshold, if he says something is hurting I know it is really bad.

[@villehalonen262]

I didn't even flinch when they put a chest tube in. With spice, the signals just hit a limit and stop over about 1M scoville for me.

Humans are weird. “Hey this plant really doesn’t want anything eating it and triggers extreme pain in anything that does.” “Cool let’s make snacks out of it!”

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

Well, a lot of people are less sensitive to spicy foods, and many people like the taste of chillies, myself included. I don't find chillies to be painful, but too much can get uncomfortable, however I love the taste of chillies, so I love to put chilli in a lot of things.

[@Mathee]

While chilis do activate the body's pain receptors, because pain and pleasure are so closely linked in the brain, it can also activate the body's pleasure receptors when eating it. This is the same reason why some people are into BDSM; they derive pleasure from ceratin levels of pain

[@Im-BAD-at-satire]

Repeated exposure does grow you tolerance to this stuff, I enjoy spicy foods but I haven't had the luxury to eat it frequently enough to gain a better tolerance. I was at this at this sandwich type restaurant yesterday and I noticed that wasabi ranch was an option they had for sauces, I of course chose it and most definitely going to choose it the next time i go there. Wasabi is a spice type different from peppers but it's still intense.

[@daveyjones8969]

​​@@Im-BAD-at-satireIt's a kind of horseradish, and true Wasabi can only be grown in certain areas in Japan, where the soil is saturated with the decomposed old plants for hundreds of years. Apparently, it makes a huge difference to what you'd usually get in the West. Not as intensely spicy initially and a lot more flavourful. I nearly got in a fist fight with my buddy (not uncommon in drunken, heated arguments; we never let a physical fight ruin our friendship though) because I stupidly thought it came from some kind of pea-like vegetable, because of the little snacks you can get lol. We just settled it with a Google search instead...

As a researcher myself ,I find it very impressive that you had all the equipment necessary and it was a very responsible experiment with pain relievers like milk and oil. I also noticed the boys had on a blood pressure measuring machine while they ate the spicy chocolates in case something goes wrong. Too good. I'm sick of irresponsible youtubers trying harmful chillies just for entertainment but you show your true passion towards food science

[@jadeanderson2213]

I completely agree! I don't usually watch videos of people trying crazy spicy things cause it seems a big silly to me but I knew Ann would do it sensibly and tastefully!

[@katydid5088]

I had an uncle eat a whole Carolina reaper for $20. It doesn't make the act better, it just makes it worse, when you realize he is a grown man who did this on a bet from work. He came home and suffered through the single worst bouts of stomach cramps and side effects of the running Trotsky kind that kept him up most of the night. My Aunt made him camp in the bathroom with some milk and a Pepto bismol. They didn't end up going to a medical professional (she is a nurse thankfully, and put him on some monitoring for safety sake), but he's avoided peppers, other than some Tabasco and black pepper, since.

[@renaaltman3974]

This is me with my husband. He put about two spoonfuls of a special hot sauce on a burrito and was happily eating it. I had a stuffy nose and was desperate for relief so I very lightly dipped a cracker into the hot sauce- maybe half a teaspoon or so- and took a bite. Worst mistake. I chugged a whole glass of milk, then put ice cube after ice cube on my tongue. After half an hour I put Orajel on it to numb the pain so I could sleep. My nose was still stuffed up and my husband finished his burrito.

[@fishsalter8799]

[@aznlover9114]

As a chilli consumer for most of my life, the best way to get rid of the heat in your mouth, and to stop your stomach from burning, is to drool it out. Literally, just stand over the sink and let your saliva and mucus do the work

[@amaasage]

Trueeeee... i do this when it becomes unbearable

[@annayako7992]

Yup! That's exactly what I do I love spice but sometimes it's too much 😅

[@KimmiiTays]

wow, thanks for the tip!

[@rinlila6974]

Exactly... Sometimes you just gotta drool like a dog haha

[@g33xzi11a]

And if you’re preparing to eat a spicy meal my advice is to get a big hit of a lot of spice about 15 minutes before the meal. For example, just take a bite out of a Thai chili. You’ll go through the pain and your body will react to it, and then by the time you’re eating the spicy meal you’re ready to actually enjoy the chilies in your food rather than suffer from them. It’s like a runners high but for chilis.

[@josephhelms2362]

Ann: "Eating overly spicy foods can be very dangerous. leading to possible esophageal rupture or deadly cerebrovascular constriction. Please exercise caution, and it is always okay to say no." * Immediately cuts to her son eating the death chocolate * The comedic timing on this channel is truly something else.

[@limmiedee7405]

not sure if anyone has said yet, but it's very smart that you tied your hair back for this. residue spices from our food can stick to our hands even if you aren't seeing it; and considering the number of times we touch our faces, hair, clothes and other surfaces, you lower the risk of irritation from contamination

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

All right Dave, here you go. I must say your one son was a comedic champion. I’m glad you were all safe about it, and I’m glad you emphasized that people can always say no.

[@joyherting3705]

I used to be able to take the heat like the eldest I'd be the one eating the bird's eye chili out of the hottest stuff on the Chinese menu. One of my favorite chicken wings was mango habanero. I used to be able to still find Habanero Doritos, don't know if they're made anymore

Dave needs a raise. And James is insane. Did you drop him in a cauldron of spice when he was little?

So good to know what actually helps with spice. For some reason I thought acids helped so I always try to drink something acidic, but it's really hard to tell if it's making any difference sometimes.

[@uppityglivestockian]

Reardon, you're the first spicy heat researcher who has actually informed me of the why and how capsaicin provokes the physical reaction of warmth and pain in humans such that I did an "aha!". Growing up in a mixed race home where Texas, Mexican and Thai food was (and still is) a part of the weekly diet, I was taught early how to kill the burning quickly: a big corner of bread sprinkled with salt. Or spread some mayo or cream cheese on the bread, add salt, wait about 20-30 seconds to see if that did it. If not, repeat and chase with either iced whole milk or, my favorite, ice cream. It offers relief much more quickly because the bread and salt acts like a sponge and makes contact with more surfaces for a bit longer, and the ice cream has all that thick rich fat and cold. If you try it and it works for you, do let us know. Big thanks, paz y salud.

[@calumsanderson6741]

That makes sense - when I've had excruciatingly hot noodles I've doused it with salt which obviously doesn't have any effect by dissolving in the thing that's spicy.
