THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF CHILLI
Chilli’s main ingredient Capsaicin is an irritant in humans and other mammals, causing a burning sensation in the tissues with which it comes into contact.
Airway resistance increases following inhalation of capsaicin in both mild asthmatics and non-asthmatic people.
Capsaicin can be fatal in large quantities. Symptoms of overdose include difficulty breathing, convulsions, and changes in skin colour.
