Oh my! If it can burn our hands like that, is it really any good for our bodies!?! Guess I'll stick to just a bit at a time!

My BIL made some salsa using habenero peppers. I'm not kidding you, that stuff actually sat there in the bowl bubbling, like a lava pot or something. It was really pretty good, after the first couple of bites your mouth was pretty numb, but you could still taste the flavors of all the other things. I look forward to his next visit and will request the salsa again. But I like hot things, tho the older I get the more they don't like me!

Hot peppers don't hurt you, and are actually good for you. They sure help numb you to the humidity and heat in Texas.

I use a fork and knife to cut the pepper in half, and a small spoon to scoop the ribs and seeds (that's where the heat is). Then I slice the pepper, holding it with a fork. I don't touch the pepper at all.
