Evening blogsters:

Shalini mentioned in a comment about the habenero post that it has medicinal qualities.

Shalini is correct.

Not just habenero, either.  Whatever the stuff is that makes it hot is evidently in all peppers in varying degrees.  Habenero's the hottest, most concentrated, but cayenne runs a cheaper, but respectable second.  Habenero's rated around 200,000 for heat.  Cayenne's 75,000, compared to jalapeno at around 5000.

Anyway, if you have a pallete that's unaccustomed to that sort of abuse you can buy cayenne molido and pack it into gel caps... I use one gram...(there's a device available from most health product outlets to make packing gel caps a breeze).

And once you have the caps, the molido and the method of packing the gel caps you can take enough of that stuff to keep your heart pumping long after your brains off in Andromeda or whereever it goes  when it dies.

Great stuff, this stuff for the human heart, for arthritis, for topical anti inflamatory.

Also, mosquitoes won't bother you.

Something to keep in mind once you get so your body remembers all the lousy things you did to it when you were younger.
